Gastric Cancer, 07/02/09
Fukunaga T et al. - Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with extended lymph node dissection has not yet been widely adopted for the treatment of gastric cancers because of the perceived complexity of the procedure. Suprapancreatic lymph node dissection is one of the most important and demanding procedures in this approach. The techniques of duodenal transection within the abdominal cavity or taping of the common hepatic or splenic artery had traditionally been adopted for suprapancreatic nodal dissection during open surgery.
