Laparoscopic PPG
Laparoscopic DG
Laparoscopy assisted pylorus-preserving gastrectomy(LPPG) with D1+ lymphadenectomy is performed (exclude lymph node station No. 5) in Japanese classification. Systemic en bloc lymph node dissection is mandatory. Resection margin should be negative for malignancy with intraoperative frozen biopsy. Extra-corporeal gastro-gastrostomy should be performed
Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy(LDG) with D1+ lymphadenectomy in Japanese classification. Systemic en bloc lymph node dissection is mandatory. Resection margin should be negative for malignancy with intraoperative frozen biopsy. Anastomosis method (extra-corporeal or intra-) and reconstruction type (Billroth I (gastroduodenostomy), Billroth II, or Roux-en Y gastrojejunostomy) are optional according to the surgeon's preference
