'Five-step' laparoscopic lymph node dissection for remnant gastric cancer following Billroth-II gastrectomy: A safe and feasible procedure

摘要

Background: Laparoscopic surgery (LS) for remnant gastric cancer (RGC) is gaining interest [1-3]. However, due to adhesions to adjacent organs, displacement of anatomical structures, and changes in lymphatic flow triangulation, LS for RGC is considered challenging. In this study, we report our experience performing laparoscopic lymph node dissection for RGC following Billroth-II gastrectomy.
