Oncological feasibility of laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy compared with laparoscopic proximal or total gastrectomy for cT1N0M0 gastric cancer in the upper gastric body
2019
Background
The upper gastric body is of particular interest in relation to gastrectomy because this area includes a border; that is, both distal and proximal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer can involve this area. Laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy (LsTG) is reported to be suitable procedure compared with laparoscopic proximal and total gastrectomy (LPG, LTG), regarding postoperative nutritional status and surgical safety. However, whether LsTG is an oncologically acceptable procedure for early gastric cancer in the upper gastric body is unclear.
