Gastric cancer in pregnancy: is laparoscopic gastrectomy with lymph node dissection feasible and safe?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gastric cancer with pregnancy is rare and usually presents in late and advanced stage. Standard interventions in diagnosing, staging and treatment of cancer may be harmful for the fetus. The treatment of cancer in pregnancy should not differ significantly from the treatment in nonpregnant women. There have been case reports of open gastrectomy for gastric cancer in pregnancy. We present a case of early gastric cancer in a 37-year-old pregnant woman treated with laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection with no postoperative complications. Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection seems to be feasible and safe in pregnancy for a mother and a fetus.

Minimally invasive surgical approachs to early stage gastric cancer have been employed as a means to improve postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric cancer. However, conventional laparoscopic techniques have not gained wide acceptance due to the inherent difficulty in performing a laparoscopic gastric lymph node dissection (D2). Although laparoscopic D2 lymphadenct...

Qualified radical gastrectomy with lymph node dissection is very important to the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. Now D2 lymph node dissection is standard procedure for gastric cancer surgery, and spleen hilar lymph node dissection is mandatory for gastric cancer in upper body. Because the anatomy of vessels in this area is very complicated, D2 lymph node dissection is technical chal...

BACKGROUND Situs inversus totalis is a relatively rare condition and is an autosomal recessive congenital defect in which an abdominal and/or thoracic organ is positioned as a "mirror image" of the normal position in the sagittal plane. We report our experience of laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy with lymph node dissection performed for gastric cancer in a patient with situs inversus tot...

BACKGROUND Supra-pancreatic lymph node dissection is important in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for gastric cancer. A clear view of the supra-pancreatic area is necessary for precise dissection of supra-pancreatic lymph nodes without injury to the pancreas. This retrospective study assessed the efficacy of T-shaped gauze (TSG) in retracting the pancreas during supra-pancreat...
