Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy for Remnant Gastric Cancer Following Distal Gastrectomy with Radical Lymphadenectomy.

Journal: Hepato-gastroenterology

PMID: 26897967

Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIMS: In cases of remnantgastric cancer (RGC) with previous lymphadenectomy, laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) is still uncommon because of the technical difficulties associated with adhesions from previous gastric cancer surgery and variations in anastomotic reconstruction. Here we demonstrate our procedure of LTG for RGC following distal gastrectomy (DG) with radical lymphadenectomy and review its clinical results.
