Radical proximal gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma

Radical proximal gastrectomy is one of the most commonly used conventional surgeries for gastric carcinoma. Its indications include: small early cancer of the upper stomach; localized cancer in the upper stomach; gastric cancer without metastasis; and gastric cancer with only lymph node station 1 metastasis. When the tumor stage was basically confirmed after the corresponding pre-operative examinations, radical proximal gastrectomy was scheduled in this case. With an attempt to share our experiences with colleagues in our hospital and in Qinghai province, we briefly describe this procedure performed in our department in this video, with its main contents including name of surgery, time, key steps, and post-operative pathology.
