- Abstract
Since central lymph-node metastases are evidently correlated with the prognosis of patients, the extent of lymph-node dissection is one of the critical parts of radical surgery. Our procedure allows both central lymph-node dissection, and preservation of the autonomic nerves without prolonged operation time, excessive complications, or bleeding. To achieve high quality lymph-node dissection without sacrificing autonomic nerves, we have explored a simple and effective procedure for laparoscopic high ligation of the IMA based on three anatomical levels as shown in the attached video.
