title: [Construction of a jejunal pouch using stapling technics in total gastrectomy].
abstract: During the last four years we performed 16 total gastrectomies with construction of a jejunal pouch. The idea was that patients with a pouch should be able to eat larger meals. This was affirmed by the patients, also there were no complaints of regurgitation. Cachexia was not observed in the disease-free patients. Nevertheless the life expectancy stays poor. A description of the technique is given.
