Abstract

Based on experience, surgeons generally agree that there are no rules or standard setups for surgical techniques. This view is especially realistic for laparoscopic surgery because each procedure is video-documented and could be easily shared. There are numerous approaches with good rationales and fair outcomes for each. In this chapter we discuss the principles and basis of various approaches for setting up for surgery. This early part of the surgery is crucial for successful laparoscopic gastrectomy.
