title: [Application progress of different approaches splenic hilar lymph node dissection in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer].
abstract: Laparoscopic spleen-preserving splenic hilar lymphadenectomy (LSPL) is a operation conducted experimentally in the current. Current reports showed that it can be safely completed through different approach, such as the right, left, medial and retropancreatic approach. This paper summarized the steps and characteristics of different approaches LSPL and compared the differences between each other. The application status of LSPL in laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy were reviewed. The security, feasibility and the problem to be solved of LSPL, improvement measure also be explored in this paper.
