title: [Surgical technique of extended lymph node excision (type R2 and R3) in gastric adenocarcinomas].
abstract: Extended R2 (and accessorily R3) lymphadenectomy is rarely used by western surgeons for curative surgical treatment of gastric adenocarcinomas and has been mainly developed by Japanese surgeons. We report the technical procedure of this extended lymphadenectomy. This description includes a review of the practical aspects and some comments concerning morbidity and indications.
