Abstract

BACKGROUND: Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a critical complication of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG). However, there are no widely recognized anatomical landmarks to prevent POPF during LG. This study aimed to identify anatomical landmarks related to POPF occurrence during LG for gastric cancer and to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) navigation system for indicating these landmarks.
