Abstract
BACKGROUND: Due to an aging society, patients with gastric cancer are also getting older. Although total gastrectomy should be avoided for elderly patients, laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy(LSTG)is a technically demanding procedure. Here, we present a safe procedure of gastro-jejunostomy using the overlap method.
