title: Laparoscopy-assisted Billroth I gastrectomy.
abstract: Laparoscopic distal partial gastrectomy is still technically difficult under conditions of a pneumoperitoneum because of the lack of appropriate techniques and laparoscopic instruments. We describe here a technique of laparoscopy-assisted Billroth I gastrectomy under an abdominal wall-elevating method.
