  • Title: [The role of D2 lymphadenectomy in the surgical treatment of gastric carcinoma].
    Author: Buris L, Halász L, Sasi SL, Czakó D.
    Journal: Magy Seb; 2002 Aug; 55(4):257-60. PubMed ID: 12236082.
    Abstract:
    The authors examine 145 patients with gastric carcinoma who underwent curative resection with additional D2 lymphadenectomy at the 2nd Surgical Department of DUMHSC between January 1, 1996 and December 31, 2000. Subtotal resection was performed in 103 patients, and total, gastrectomy was performed in 42 patients. Postoperative mortality was 5.5% and disease-related complications occurred in 17.9%. The three-year survival was 49.7%, while in patients with "early" (maximum infiltration to the level of the submucosa) gastric carcinoma 3-year survival rate of was 86.3%. The results correlate with the data in the literature, so the use of D2 lymphadenectomy in the surgical treatment of gastric carcinoma is strongly advised.
