Abstract
In this chapter, we work through the procedure for distal gastrectomy with D1+ lymphadenectomy [5] in a step-by-step manner, with written explanations accompanied by clear, simple illustrations. We also look at two reconstruction techniques, the Roux-en-Y technique involving instrumental anastomosis and the classic Billroth-I technique involving manual suturing. Standard operation time is 2 h 30 min.
