The double-flap technique (DFT) is an effective digestive tract reconstruction method after proximal gastrectomy (PG) to reduce the incidence of postoperative reflux esophagitis. But its clinical application is restricted due to the technical complexity. Our surgical team devise a modified esophagogastric reconstructive method which we term the "arch-bridge-type" reconstruction based on the principle of DFT. The aim of this single-arm prospective study is to assess the safety and feasibility of the "arch-bridge-type" reconstruction after PG.
