This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a robotic-assisted surgical approach to remove part of the stomach in patients with early-stage cancer in the upper stomach region. The surgery uses a specialized reconstruction technique called the double-flap method to reconnect the remaining stomach to the esophagus (food tube). This new approach aims to preserve better nutrition and quality of life compared to removing the entire stomach, while reducing a common problem called reflux that can occur after this type of surgery.
When doctors remove the entire stomach for proximal cancer, patients often experience poor nutrition and quality of life afterward. The new treatment preserves more of the stomach and improves nutrition, but earlier versions had high rates of painful acid reflux. This trial tests whether the double-flap reconstruction technique can reduce reflux while keeping the benefits of stomach preservation.

If you qualify for this trial, you would undergo robotic-assisted proximal gastrectomy surgery using the double-flap reconstruction technique. The surgical team would use robotic instruments to remove the upper portion of your stomach and carefully reconstruct the connection between your esophagus and the remaining stomach using the specialized double-flap method. After surgery, you would be monitored for safety and recovery, and researchers would track your surgical outcomes, nutritional status, and quality of life to evaluate whether this new technique is safe and effective.
