Abstract
Gastric cancer requires 5 cm margins when a surgical resection is feasible. When a total gastrectomy is required, an esophagojejunostomy is performed and a Roux-en-Y reconstruction with the rest of the small bowel is required. The present chapter describes an open total gastrectomy with a gastrojejunostomy.
