Few cases of laparoscopic total gastrectomy have been published. Reconstruction of the digestive tract was generally accomplished with a Roux-en-y esophagojejunal mechanical anastomosis. Here we report the first 2 cases of laparoscopic conversion of an omega in a Roux-en-y reconstruction due to the occurrence of a severe alkaline esophagitis after mini-invasive total gastrectomy for cancer.
