Core Tip	Although laparoscopic total gastrectomy for upper gastric cancer has become popular in Korea, esophagojejunostomy remains a difficult procedure. Recently introduced intracorporeal esophagojejunostomy methods facilitate more convenient anastomosis. We describe the modified double stapling technique (which has been used in colorectal surgery) for esophagojejunostomy after laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG). Although it cannot be used for all patients undergoing LTG because of the lack of long-term survival data, this double stapling technique can provide easy and safe anastomosis after LTG. In particular, it may be a considerable option for inexperienced surgeons.
