subtotal gastrectomy (SG) for early and advanced distal adenocarcinoma with D2 dissection …

BACKGROUND: Widespread diffusion of minimally-invasive surgery for gastric cancer
treatment is limited by the complexity of performing an extended D2-lymphadenectomy. This …

In a non-specialized setting, laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) for locally advanced
