Abstract

Gastric cancer remains an important cause of cancer-related deaths and a complete margin-negative (R0) resection remains the only potentially curative treatment for gastric adenocarcinoma. We report a case of carcinoma of distal stomach in a 48-year-old male patient who was diagnosed on UGI endoscopy and CT scan. He had symptoms suggestive of gastric outlet obstruction due to stenosing lesion. He was successfully treated with laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is justified by its feasibility, early recovery, oncological safety, and improved quality of life in cancer stomach.
