Abstract
Recently, jejunal pouch reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy has been a common procedure in Japan. However, according to our investigation, there are no reports of recurrence in the jejunal pouch. We experienced a patient with a recurrence in the jejunal pouch after proximal gastrectomy for early upper gastric cancer. In view of the pathological findings and the recurrence site, we suspected an implantation on the staple-line made for the jejunal pouch.
