  • Title: [Study of splenopancreatic-preserving dissection of No.10 and No.11 lymphatic nodes in radical resection for proximal gastric carcinoma].
    Author: Sun WH, Hui XZ.
    Journal: Zhonghua Wei Chang Wai Ke Za Zhi; 2006 Mar; 9(2):131-2. PubMed ID: 16555152.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of splenopancreatic-preserving dissection of No.10 and No.11 lymph nodes in radical resection for proximal gastric carcinoma. METHODS: The data of 62 patients with proximal gastric carcinoma undergoing splenopancreatic-preserving dissection of No.10 and No.11 lymph nodes were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS: This splenopancreatic-preserving dissection was effective significantly. The incidences of lymphatic metastasis in No.10 and No.11 were 19.4% and 22.6% respectively, and the incidence of complications was 16.1%, significantly lower than that (40 %) of non-splenopancreatic-preserving dissection. CONCLUSIONS: The splenopancreatic-preserving dissection of No.10 and No.11 lymph nodes is a safe and feasible method in radical gastrectomy for proximal gastric carcinoma. The surgical procedure is not difficult. With careful operation,the complete clearance of the lymph nodes can be obtained.
