Case Report: Transvaginal specimen extraction following totally laparoscopic D2 distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer in a patient with situs inversus totalis: with video

ABSTRACT: Because of its significant advantage of fast postoperative recovery, natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) has attracted increasing attention worldwide. However, the NOSES in gastric cancer (GC) treatment still needs more clinical practice, especially for the rare anatomical anomaly. Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare autosomal recessive anatomical anomaly with an incidence ranging between 1/8,000 and 1/25,000 births. We present a video of transvaginal specimen extraction following totally laparoscopic D2 distal gastrectomy performed in a 59-year-old woman known to have SIT.
