Core Tip This study demonstrates that routine intraoperative endoscopic examination (IEE) during circular stapler esophagojejunostomy significantly reduces early anastomotic complications by enabling immediate detection and repair of technical defects such as leaks, bleeding, strictures, and full-thickness tears. In a retrospective analysis of 160 patients undergoing laparoscopic total gastrectomy, the IEE group had no postoperative anastomotic complications compared to 7.5% in the non-IEE group, despite a modest increase in operative time. These findings support the integration of IEE as a standard practice to enhance surgical safety and outcomes in gastric cancer surgery.
