Resection of gastric stump cancer using da vinci robotic surgical system

Although the surgical procedure and approach of da Vinci robotic surgical system assisted radical resection of gastric cancer are gradually mature, it is rarely used for the resection of gastric stump cancer because of the complexity and low resection rate. In November of 2012, resection of gastric stump cancer using da Vinci robotic surgical system was performed in the Southwest Hospital. The short term efficacy was satisfactory after the follow up for 12 months. Da vinci robotic surgical system has the advantages of clear vision, easy manipulation of abdominal adhesion detaching, flexible operation and stable traction during resection of gastric stump cancer.
