Abstract
Pancreas-preserving lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer is a method of removing lymph nodes along the upper border of the pancreas without pe rforming a distal pancreatic resection(1). The surgical technique incl udes ligation of the splenic artery at its origin and is effective in reducing the incidence of complications related to pancreatic resectio n, but carries the risk of pancreatic necrosis(1). A technique has bee n developed of pancreas-preserving D-3 lymphadenectomy for gastric can cer which reduces the risk of pancreatic necrosis.
