Core Tip Modified Kamikawa anastomosis is a simplified form of the Kamikawa double-flap technique for digestive tract reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy. By preserving the anti-reflux valve mechanism while reducing technical complexity, the modified Kamikawa anastomosis can reduce reflux and anastomotic complications and improve postoperative recovery. This minireview summarizes current technical refinements, clinical indications, perioperative safety, functional outcomes, and remaining evidence gaps, emphasizing the need for multicenter prospective studies and longer oncological follow-up.
