Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the feasibility of splenopancreatic-preserving dissection of No.10 and No.11 lymph nodes in radical resection for proximal gastric carcinoma.
METHODSThe data of 62 patients with proximal gastric carcinoma undergoing splenopancreatic-preserving dissection of No.10 and No.11 lymph nodes were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULTSThis splenopancreatic-preserving dissection was effective significantly. The incidences of lymphatic metastasis in No.10 and No.11 were 19.4% and 22.6% respectively, and the incidence of complications was 16.1%, significantly lower than that (40 %) of non-splenopancreatic-preserving dissection.
CONCLUSIONSThe splenopancreatic-preserving dissection of No.10 and No.11 lymph nodes is a safe and feasible method in radical gastrectomy for proximal gastric carcinoma. The surgical procedure is not difficult. With careful operation,the complete clearance of the lymph nodes can be obtained.
