[Subtotal gastrectomy for carcinoma. Importance of radical dissection of the lesser curvature (author's transl)].
In subtotal gastrectomy for carcinoma the key to radical dissection of the lesser curvature is mobilisation of the hepatic artery up to the coeliaque axis, where the left gastric artery can be divided at its point of origin. Blood supply to the gastric stump is ensured by the short gastric vessels, the posterior oesophago-gastric artery and the intraparietal anastomoses between oesophageal and gastric vessels.
