ABSTRACT
Both pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG) and segmental gastrectomy (SG) achieve the preservation of gastric cardia and pylorus through the circumferential resection of stomach, while concepts and surgical procedures of these two operations are obviously different. In this sense, transectional gastrectomy includes both PPG and SG. PPG is one of the standard surgical procedure for early gastric cancer (EGC). The extent of lymph node dissection (No.1, 3, 4sb, 4d, 6, 7, 8a, 9) and the retention of infrapyloric vessels, hepatic and pyloric branch of vagal nerve has formed a consensus. Meanwhile, SG is regarded as an investigational treatment according to the Japanese gastric cancer treatment guidelines. It is still controversial and may generate an ethical risk in the clinical practice. This article distinguishes the difference in the concepts and surgical procedures between PPG and SG, assisting a comprehensive evaluation in further research.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To discuss laparoscopic assisted radical D2 resection of distal gastric anatomy application ideas.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Collected the clinical data from January 2009 to January 2012 who underwent laparoscopic distal gastric resection in patients with D2 349 cases. There were 180 male and 169 female patients, and the age were (57 ± 3) years old (range 29-86 years), the body mass index of patients were (26.0 ± 2.0) kg/m(2) (range 20.5-32.8 kg/m(2)). The relevant surgical anatomy ideas had summarized.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In addition to 5 cases of obese patients with conversion to open, the remaining patients underwent laparoscopic distal gastric D2 resection. The operation is divided into 7 operating anatomical view. The operation time were 120-210 minutes and the blood loss were 50-200 ml. Postoperative complications occurred in 11 cases, including 5 cases of duodenal stump leakage, 2 cases of gastroparesis, 3 cases of small bowel obstruction, and abdominal bleeding in 1 case. All patients were discharged.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Use zoning, exterior to interior of the anatomy, more conducive to master the operation of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy and standardized cleaning, to improve the operation efficiency and shorten the surgical learning curve and improve the quality of surgery has an important role.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the efficacy of laparoscope complete mesocolic excision (CME) for right colon cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The clinical data of 49 cases of right colon cancer without metastasis and intestinal obstruction who underwent elective laparoscope CME by the same group of surgeons between October 2009 and June 2011 at the First Hospital of Jilin University were analyzed retrospectively.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among the 49 cases with CME, the median number of total lymph node retrieved was 22. The positive rate of lymph node in patients with stage III disease was 16.3%. The median operative time of all the cases was 145 min. The mean intraoperative blood loss was 75 ml. The median time to flatus passage and defecation was 3 days and 6 days respectively. The median hospital stay was 12 days. The overall postoperative complication rate was 12.2% (6/49).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Laparoscope complete mesocolic excision for right colon cancer is safe and feasible.</p>
