Introduction
Intracorporeal pouch jejunojejunostomy (JJ) is a technically challenging procedure during totally laparoscopic gastrectomy (TLG).

Aim
This study introduced a new method involving the construction of an intracorporeal bi-directional pouch JJ using an endoscopic linear stapler and analyzed the surgical outcomes of this method, including JJ complications.

Material and methods
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 168 patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy with intracorporeal bi-directional pouch JJ between November 2017 and October 2018 at Asan Medical Center.

Results
The construction of an intracorporeal bi-directional pouch JJ took an average of 10 min. No postoperative bleeding or anastomotic strictures related to JJ reconstruction occurred after this procedure. No mortality occurred during follow-up.

Conclusions
Intracorporeal bi-directional pouch JJ using an endoscopic linear stapler is a safe and simple procedure. It is a feasible option to reduce JJ stricture after TLG in patients with gastric cancer.
