Intraoperative video consultation expedites and improves surgical care. Here, we present a case where intraoperative video consultation between a rural hospital and an academic hepatobiliary surgeon facilitated immediate diagnosis of bile duct transection during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, direct to operating room transfer between centers, and injury repair with robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for remnant gastric cancer has been increasingly adopted as a minimally invasive surgical approach in recent years. This article proposes a detailed operating procedure, aiming to provide practical technical guidance for surgeons and promote the broader adoption of laparoscopic surgery in managing remnant gastric cancer.
FAQs
Adequate blood supply supports the health of the bowel segments used for the connection. If tissue viability is compromised, the joined ends may not maintain the integrity needed for a secure intestinal passage. Preserving perfusion therefore works alongside careful tissue handling to promote healing, reduce the risk of leakage, and support restoration of normal intestinal continuity.
The bowel ends must meet in a way that creates a continuous, unobstructed lumen. Accurate alignment allows intestinal contents to pass through the reconstructed segment rather than encountering narrowing or a disrupted pathway. This mechanical goal is closely linked to secure joining, because both the shape of the lumen and the stability of the connection influence postoperative intestinal function.
Restoring continuity reconnects bowel segments after a diseased or damaged portion has been removed. Redirecting flow uses the connection as part of a bypass or reconstructive operation, changing the route intestinal contents take. In either setting, the anastomosis must remain secure and unobstructed, but the broader surgical purpose differs according to the intestinal problem being addressed.
A surgeon may use this reconstruction after removing a diseased or damaged section of bowel when the remaining jejunal segments need to be reconnected. It can also form part of selected bypass or reconstructive operations. The suitability of the approach depends on having bowel ends that can be brought together while maintaining blood supply and a functional intestinal passage.
The essential sequence is to identify suitable bowel ends, bring them together, and join them with sutures or a stapling device. Throughout the reconstruction, surgeons prioritize viable tissue, accurate alignment, a secure join, and an unobstructed lumen. These technical priorities are intended to support intestinal passage while minimizing the possibility of leakage from the connection.
Postoperative monitoring should assess whether the reconstructed bowel remains functional and whether the connection continues to be secure. Clinicians are particularly concerned with outcomes related to intestinal passage, leakage, and the patient’s ability to maintain normal bowel function. Monitoring is important because early recognition of an unfavorable course can guide subsequent medical or surgical management.
