Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Cancer

This book examines the laparoscopic gastrectomy for treatment of gastric cancer developed by Seigo Kitano in 1991, with the aim of educating surgeons and benefiting patients. Covers technical development and the introduction of new operative instruments.

The result has been to achieve an evolving consensus among specialists in the field of endoscopic surgery in Japan and Korea with expertise that can be shared worldwide. A compilation of the current state-of-the-art is now presented in this volume, with accompanying DVD, which will be of great value to all endoscopic surgeons who perform laparoscopic gastrectomy.
