Efficacy of the No. 10 lymphadenectomy with spleen preservation on patients with gastric cancer and/or esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma who underwent total gastrectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Surgery with total gastrectomy and D2 lymph node dissection (LND) has been recommended as the standard treatment for patients with advanced upper and middle gastric carcinoma and/or Siewert type II/III adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction (AEG). However, whether the No. 10 lymph node (No.

Study on the efficacies of splenic pedicle transection by using manual manipulation and Endo-GIA procedure for laparoscopic splenectomy.

Laparoscopy splenectomy (LS) was adopted in surgery from 1980s, it has become the main way of exploring for treating spleen diseases. Compared with conventional open surgery, LS has been gradually accepted by physicians and patients due to its advantages, including minimal surgical injury, less intraoperative blood loss, quick postoperative recovery, shorter hospital period, better cosmetic result, less risk of postoperative infections and improved postoperative quality of life Here, we try to investigate the splenic pedicle transection by using Endo-GIA (a linear stapling device) procedure and manual manipulation of secondary splenic pedicle for LS. A retrospective study was conducted on 60 patients who underwent LS.
