    Abstract:
    A 90-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital with a chief complaint of vomiting.Gastroscopy revealed type 3 gastric cancer and gastric outlet obstruction(GOO).Abdominal computed tomography revealed thickening of the antral wall and suggested the presence of 3 perigastric lymph node metastases, but there was no ascitic fluid or distant metastasis.The clinical diagnosis was T4a(SE)N2H0CYXP0M0, Stage III B, according to the Japanese Classification of Gastric Carcinoma.Her general conditions including kidney and cardiac function were good, we considered that she was able to tolerate radical distal gastrectomy.We planned laparoscopic distal gastrectomy(LDG)and D2 lymphadenectomy after getting sufficient informed consent.The patient experienced an uneventful post-operative recovery, and was discharged in good health 11 days after surgery.
