Meanings of distal gastrectomy in English

Background: Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is used widely in surgery for gastric cancer.

This case had previous distal gastrectomy done for gastric ulcer.

Methods: Fifty-one patients who underwent total or distal gastrectomy at least 1 year previously were studied.

He underwent distal gastrectomy and has survived for 5 years without any other recurrence or metastasis.

Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is an oncologically safe alternative to open surgery for stage I gastric cancer.

Main outcomes and measures: Difference in 5-year overall survival between the laparoscopic and open distal gastrectomy groups.

Objectives: Our objective was to determine whether delayed gastric emptying contributes to gastroesophageal reflux after distal gastrectomy.

Laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy and the central pancreatectomy were performed because pancreatic invasion of melanoma was intraoperatively found.

Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy could be a potential standard treatment option for locally advanced gastric cancer.

A 61-year-old male had undergone distal gastrectomy followed by right hepatectomy for alpha-fetoprotein-producing gastric cancer and liver metastasis.

We report a patient who had an abdominal wall mass at a previous trocar site after laparoscopic distal gastrectomy.

Patients and methods: A total of 239 patients with LGC who underwent distal gastrectomy at our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.

He had a medical history of distal gastrectomy due to early gastric cancer with negative surgical margins 9 years previously.

Here, we investigated the feasibility of ICG fluorescence for lymph node mapping and tumor localization during totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy.

Purpose: It is unclear whether laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer is oncologically equivalent to open distal gastrectomy.

Importance: Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is gaining popularity over open distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer because of better early postoperative outcomes.
