title: [Gastric carcinoma and D2 lymphadenectomy--technique and possible complications].
abstract: Lymphadenectomy in gastric cancer became vital and obligatory part of staging procedure. Therapeutic effect of lymphadenectomy with patient's prognosis improvement still remains uncertain. In subgroups, extensive lymphadenectomy enhance radicality of the procedure, enables to reach R0 resection in the area of tumour bed and hopefully improves survival. D2 lymphadenectomy is now becoming as a standard also in our country. Technique and possible complications of D2 lymphadenectomy are the matter of this article.
