Abstract
The place of a D2 gastrectomy for dealing with an antral stomach cancer inpatients in the West is a matter of continuing debate. This article describes a standardised operative procedure with the aim of achieving a satisfactory clearance of the gastric cancer in the antrum and a systematic removal of the regional draining lymphatics.
