Supra-pancreatic lymph node dissection with the surgeon on left position in 4K laparoscopic radical gastrectomy / 中华消化外科杂志

ABSTRACT

The supra-pancreatic lymph node dissection is the key and difficult prospect in laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The 4K laparoscopic imaging technology can increase the recognition of blood vessels, nerves, lymph nodes and adipose tissue. Therefore, the detailed anatomy under the 4K laparoscopy can significantly reduce intraoperative bleeding and pancreatic injury, and accurately increase the determination of the scope and boundary of lymph node dissection. The authors discuss the supra-pancreatic lymph node dissection with the surgeon on left position in 4K laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.
