The "quadrant-sandwich" method in clockwise modular D2 lymph node dissection in laparoscopic total gastrectomy: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

For patients who need laparoscopic radical gastrectomy, lymph node dissection (LND) and optimization of surgical procedures are particularly important. This study introduces the "quadrant-sandwich" method in clockwise modular D2 LND and evaluates the advantages and safety of this method.

Methods

The clinical data of 108 laparoscopic total gastrectomy patients admitted to the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2019 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the different LND processes, 55 patients were allocated to the observation group, which underwent clockwise modular LND using the "quadrant-sandwich method", and 53 patients were allocated to the control group, which underwent traditional LND. The effectiveness and safet
