In early gastric cancer, the aim of surgery is to precisely remove the distal stomach including the primary tumor. To do this, accurate localization of the tumor is crucial, especially in totally laparoscopic surgery. This protocol describes a procedure for intraoperative gastroscopy in totally laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy.

Here, we develop and present a T-tube and intrabiliary stent-free technique utilizing dual-lens visualization (via laparoscope and choledochoscope) combined with laparoscopic ultrasonography (LUS) to perform primary choledochal suture.
FAQs
Carbon dioxide inflation expands the abdominal or pelvic cavity, creating working space between internal structures and the instruments. This space helps the laparoscope provide a useful view while allowing specialized instruments to reach the operative area through trocar ports. The approach depends on maintaining adequate visualization and room for controlled instrument movement during the procedure.
Trocar ports provide controlled entry points for the laparoscope and surgical instruments, replacing the need for a large open incision. The camera supplies visual guidance, while the instruments allow the surgeon to perform targeted work inside the abdomen or pelvis. Because access and visualization occur through small ports, precise instrument control and specialized training are essential.
Compared with many open procedures, laparoscopic surgery uses smaller incisions and generally causes less tissue disruption. This difference can contribute to reduced postoperative pain, less visible scarring, and a shorter recovery time. The benefits are balanced by the need for specialized equipment, training, and careful control of instruments within a camera-guided operative field.
The procedure begins with small incisions for trocar ports, followed by insertion of the laparoscope and specialized instruments. Carbon dioxide is then used to inflate the body cavity and create working space. Guided by the camera image, the surgeon examines or treats the target area, completing the operation through the ports rather than through a large incision.
Common applications include gallbladder removal, hernia repair, appendectomy, and gynecologic operations. These examples show that the technique can support both examination and treatment in abdominal or pelvic medicine. Its usefulness depends on whether the target procedure can be performed effectively through small access points with camera visualization and specialized instruments.
Laparoscopic surgery may offer less postoperative pain, reduced scarring, and a shorter recovery time than many open procedures. These outcomes result from limiting the size of the surgical access points and reducing tissue disruption. However, successful use also depends on precise technique, appropriate specialized equipment, and the surgeon’s training in camera-guided operative work.
