gastrectomy d1 d2

The management of gastric cancer has long been debated, particularly the extent of lymph node (LN) dissection required during curative surgery. LN invasion stands out as the most critical prognostic factor in gastric cancer. Historically, Japanese academic societies were the pioneers in defining a classification system for regional gastric LN stations, numbering them from 1 to 16. This classification was later used to differentiate between different types of LN dissection, such as D1, D2 and D3. However, these definitions were often considered too complex to be universally adopted, resulting in wide variations in recommendations from one country to another and making it difficult to compare published studies...

BACKGROUND: Total gastrectomy with D2 dissection including splenectomy (TGS) is usually selected for locally resectable scirrhous gastric cancer (SGC), which was established in the era of surgery alone. However, it remains unclear whether TGS for SGC is justified in the era of effective adjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS: This study included 112 SGC patients, consisting of 60 cases treated between January 2000 and December 2006 (Former group), and 52 cases treated between January 2007 and December 2016 (Latter group)...

BACKGROUND: Debate exists concerning the impact of D2 vs. D1 lymphadenectomy on long-term oncological outcomes after gastrectomy for cancer. METHODS: PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) analyzing the effect of D2 vs. D1 on survival were included. Overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and disease-free survival (DFS) were assessed. Restricted mean survival time difference (RMSTD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used as effect size measures...

Background: Laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer has become widespread as minimally invasive surgical treatment, but use of laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) remains limited because of the technical difficulty and complexity of lymphadenectomy at the splenic hilum. Surgical techniques and initial experiences with the surgical approach to the upper side of the gastrosplenic ligament during LTG are introduced. Materials and Methods: Between January 2019 and December 2022, 57 patients with proximal gastric cancer underwent LTG using this approach...

PURPOSE: Ectopic fat accumulation plays a significant role in obesity-related metabolic dysfunction, and few studies have reported an association between ectopic gastric fat and metabolic risk factors. We aim to fulfill this need by assessing the degree of gastric submucosal fat accumulation in pathologic sections of 190 sleeve gastrectomy specimens. METHODS: Study patients were divided into two groups (D1 and D2) based on whether fat accumulation exceeded 1/3 of the submucosa of the stomach...

OBJECTIVE: To gain insight in global practice of RAMIG and evaluated perioperative outcomes using an international registry. BACKGROUND: The techniques and perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted minimally invasive gastrectomy (RAMIG) for gastric cancer vary substantially in literature. METHODS: Prospectively registered RAMIG-cases for gastric cancer (≥10 per center) were extracted from 25 centers in Europe, Asia and South-America...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have focused on the non-inferiority of RPG compared with conventional port gastrectomy (CPG); however, we assumed that some candidates might derive more significant benefit from RPG over CPG. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological and perioperative parameters of 1442 patients with gastric cancer treated by gastrectomy between 2009 and 2022. The C-reactive protein level on postoperative day 3 (CRPD3) was used as a surrogate parameter for surgical trauma...

BACKGROUND: There are significant differences in terms of the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations between intra- and extra-luminal bleeding, and it is also difficult to determine the reasonable management of the bleeding. This study is to analyze the clinical characteristics of postoperative bleeding in gastric cancer, and to explore the management of postoperative intra-intestinal and extra-intestinal bleeding. METHODS: We collected the clinical data of 2,978 patients with gastric cancer from the Department of Surgery, Fujian Cancer Hospital, from May 2014 to September 2019...

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to define and investigate the prognostic impact of "R1-Lymph-node dissection" during gastrectomy. METHODS: This was a retrospective study conducted with 499 patients undergoing curative-aim gastrectomy. We defined R1-Lymph dissection as an involvement of lymph node stations anatomically connected with lymph node stations outside the declared level of dissection (D1 to D2+). The primary outcomes were disease-free and disease-specific survival (DFS and DSS)...

BACKGROUND: Roux stasis syndrome (RSS) after Roux-en-Y (RY) reconstruction significantly prolongs the hospital stay and decreases the quality of life. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of RSS in patients who underwent distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer and to identify the factors related to the development of RSS after mechanical RY reconstruction in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). METHODS: This study included 134 patients who underwent distal gastrectomy in MIS with mechanical RY anastomosis...

BACKGROUND: Gastrectomy with D2 dissection has been established as the standard procedure for locally advanced gastric cancer in the era of surgery alone. However, no consideration has been given to the efficacy of dissection in the era of effective adjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS: This study included 1298 advanced gastric cancer patients, consisting of 725 cases treated between January 2000 and December 2006 (Former group), and 573 cases treated between January 2007 and July 2015 (Latter group)...

Objective: To investigate the effect of methylene blue tracing on the effect of surgical resection and the prognosis of gastric cancer patients in D2 radical surgery under laparoscope. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 160 patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent surgical treatment in Xinxiang Central Hospital, the 4th Clinical College of Xinxiang Medical College from January 2016 to January 2019 were selected for retrospective analysis. Among them, 84 patients underwent laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer combined with methylene blue labeling operation (labeling group), and the other 76 patients underwent only laparoscopic D2 radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer (control group)...

AIM: The present study presents the factors associated with early complications and mortality in patients undergoing total gastrectomy. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study included patients who underwent curative total gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma between January 2001 and December 2016 in the General Surgery Department of the Çukurova University Medical Faculty Hospital. The patients were divided into D1, D2, and D3 groups depending on the lymph node dissection width, and the demographic and clinical data and mortality were compared...

OBJECTIVES: This study focuses on the evaluation of the effectiveness of radical gastrectomy with D2 node dissection after neoadjuvant therapy in the patients with gastric cancer. Gastric cancer is a widespread type of cancer, and it is the third leading cause of death in the cancer patients. Metastases most often occur in the lymph nodes and therefore, in addition to gastrectomy, lymph node dissection is often performed in the patients. We are distinguishing between D1, 2 and 3 dissections...

SummaryIn East Asia, the role of lymph node (LN) mapping in assisting surgical lymphadenectomy, which is integral to the management of gastric cancer, has been explored. We sought to evaluate its safety and utility in Western patients. Thirteen patients with nonmetastatic gastric adenocarcinoma received endoscopic, peritumoural, submucosal indocyanine green fluorescence (ICG) injections before surgery, and ICG was assessed intraoperatively using a laparoscopic detection system. All patients underwent a laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy, and 10 of them received D2 lymphadenectomies...

Background: The incidence of lymph node metastases is closely related to the T-stage, and therefore Eastern guidelines advice a D1 lymphadenectomy for early gastric cancer and a D2 lymphadenectomy for advanced gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the lymph node metastases rate in the stations dissected with a D2-lymphadenectomy (stations 8-12) yet spared with a D1-lymphadenectomy, between different T-stages in a Western patient cohort. Methods: For this retrospective study, patients who underwent a gastrectomy in the Amsterdam University Medical Center (UMC), location Academic Medical Center (AMC), between 2011 and 2016 were identified from a prospectively maintained database...

BACKGROUND: Although D2-gastrectomy is the most effective treatment for resectable gastric cancer (GC), it is unclear whether elderly patients have increased risk of morbidity and worse survival. This study aimed to compare the short- and long-term outcomes of older age (OA) patients with those of less advanced age (LAA). METHODS: GC patients undergoing curative gastrectomy were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups: OA (>75 years) and LAA (<75 years)...

INTRODUCTION: Gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is considered standard treatment in gastric cancer (GC). Among Western patients, morbidity and mortality seem to increase in D2 relative to D1 lymphadenectomy. As elderly patients with co-morbidities are more prone to possible complications, it is unclear whether they benefit from D2 lymphadenectomy. This study aims to compare the short- and long-term results of D1 and D2 lymphadenectomy in elderly patients undergoing gastrectomy for GC...

BACKGROUND: National studies have reported racial and socioeconomic disparities in gastric cancer (GC) care. The current study evaluated adequate lymph node (LN) assessment (≥16 LNs) during resection for GC within a healthcare system servicing a socioeconomically disparate, mostly non-White population in the Southeast United States. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing resection for GC between 2003-2019 was performed. Factors associated with adequate LN assessment including patient and tumor characteristics were analyzed...

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic fistula is one of the most common and potentially fatal surgical complications after radical gastrectomy. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of extrapolating the definition of pancreatic fistula by the International Study Group on Pancreatic Surgery to include situations surrounding gastric cancer surgery. METHODS: The clinicopathological data of 443 patients who underwent elective gastrectomy with suprapancreatic lymph node dissection (D1+, D2, or D2+ dissection) without pancreatic resection were reviewed...
