ABSTRACT
Usually in the subtotal gastrectomy, the left and the right gastric arteries, as well as the left and the right gastroepiploic arteries are ligated. Thus, to avoid a blue stomach surgeons preserve the spleen and the short gastric arteries. When a radical subtotal gastrectomy with splenectomy is performed, meticulous caution is necessary; otherwise, the subtotal gastrectomy might have to be changed to a total gastrectomy to prevent a blue stomach. We report the case of a 67-year-old woman who had distal stomach cancer with a splenic solitary mass, for which splenic meatastasis could be excluded. We planned and performed a laparoscopy-assisted radical subtotal gastrectomy with splenectomy as the diagnostic and therapeutic option. In this case, to avoid a remnant stomach infarction or total gastrectomy we saved the left gastric artery and vein with clearing perivascular soft tissue, lymphatics, and lymph nodes. Thus the radical therapeutic goal was reached, and serious complications were avoided.
