Core Tip	In this updated meta-analysis of non-randomized controlled trials comparing laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) and open total gastrectomy, the incidence of anastomotic leakage was similar, and that of anastomotic stenosis was slightly, but not significantly, higher when LTG was performed. The incidence of anastomotic stenosis was relatively high for new procedures that utilize a trans-orally inserted anvil (OrVilTM) in reported case series of LTG.
