Abstract
For advanced gastric cancer located in the upper body of the stomach, total gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection is recommended [1–4]. D2 lymph node dissection for proximal tumors requires the retrieval of the soft tissues around distal portions of the splenic vessels and splenic hilum, which contain lymph nodes at stations #10 and #11d [4, 5]. Two options – a total gastrectomy with splenectomy and a spleen-preserving total gastrectomy – exist for retrieval of lymph nodes at station #10. While splenectomy-related postoperative complications, such as subphrenic abscess and postsplenectomy syndrome, are well known, complete lymph node dissection of the splenic hilum during spleen-preserving total gastrectomy is a very complex procedure.
