Laparoscopic radical distal gastrectomy for ca stomach

Area of Science:

• Surgical Oncology
• Gastroenterology

Background:

• Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide.
• Complete margin-negative (R0) resection is the primary curative treatment for gastric adenocarcinoma.
• Gastric outlet obstruction is a common complication requiring surgical intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

• To report a case of distal gastric adenocarcinoma.
• To describe the successful treatment using laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy.
• To evaluate the feasibility and benefits of this minimally invasive approach.

Main Methods:

• Diagnosis via upper GI (UGI) endoscopy and CT scan.
• Surgical treatment with laparoscopic distal gastrectomy.
• Comprehensive D2 lymphadenectomy performed laparoscopically.

Main Results:

• Successful resection of distal gastric carcinoma.
• Patient experienced early recovery and improved quality of life.
• Demonstrated oncological safety of the laparoscopic procedure.

Conclusions:

• Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy is a feasible and safe option for gastric cancer.
• Minimally invasive surgery offers benefits in terms of recovery and quality of life.
• This approach provides a potentially curative treatment for gastric adenocarcinoma.
