- Abstract
Results of 178 operations with extended D3 lymphadenectomy (study group) performed at the patients with stomach cancer are analyzed. Control groups consisted of 175 patients undergone operations with D2 lymphadenectomy, and 266 patients undergone surgery of typical extension. Study and control groups were similar according to prognostic factors. Indications for extended lymphadenectomy are formulated. It was demonstrated that short-term results in both group were equal. Safety of extended D3 lymphadenectomies wasalso confirmed. Extended D3 lymphadenectomies permitted to increase the respectability on 6.7%.
