Abstract

As evidence and experience in minimally invasive techniques develop, minimally invasive gastrectomy appears to be an attractive option for appropriately selected cases. This chapter will discuss appropriate patient selection and learning curve of the procedure, the technique of laparoscopic gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy, and considerations for postoperative management.
