Equal incidences of anastomosis-related complications between intracorporeal mechanical gastrogastrostomy (img) and extracorporeal hand-sewing gastrogastrostomy (ehg) were found in laparoscopic pylorus-preserving gastrectomy for middle gastric cancer. In addition, img had a lower wound infection rate. These results support the safety and feasibility of img in this patient population.
