title: [Examination of Distal Gastrectomy in Our Hospital - Comparison of the Contents of Lymphadenectomy].
abstract: It has now been more than 20 years since laparoscopic gastrectomy was introduced in Japan, and the 2014 guidelines recommend laparoscopic distal gastrectomy as a treatment for cStage I gastric cancers. This operation facilitates minute lymphadenectomy via the option of enlarging the image, but there are some difficulties associated with limited range of motion. A hallmark of gastrectomy for gastric cancer is the widespread dissection of lymph nodes, and the limits imposed by laparoscopic forceps can complicate the operation. In this study, we subdivided regional lymph nodes, examined distal gastrectomy cases in our hospital, and compared the contents of lymphadenectomy.
