Abstract:
At Viet Nam-Germany Hospital from April 1997 to January 1998, 48 cases of gastric carcinoma had been performed biopsy during operation (extemporized biopsy), 28 men and 20 women with average age 50 (ranged from 16 to 72), including 5 cases of R1 gastrectomy, 14 cases of R2 gastrectomy and 29 cases of R3 gastrectomy (extended lymphadenectomy). 87.5% have nodal involvements. Through this study, the authors emphasized the chief role of the extemporized biopsy that we can evaluate the margins of clearance in resection and the extent of nodal involvement for absolute curative resections. In the other hand, the authors presented the technique of R3 lymphadenectomy, evaluated the short-term outcome of this technique. There was neither complication nor mortality during operation and postoperation period.
