ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Gastric cancer patients with para-aortic lymph node metastases may achieve long-term survival with radical gastrectomy and para-aortic lymph nodal dissection (PAND) following neoadjuvant therapy. We introduced the Cattell-Braasch maneuver to facilitate safe and complete PAND for advanced gastric cancer with extensive lymph node metastases.METHODS:
Between January 2014 and March 2020, 7 patients with highly advanced gastric cancer received preoperative chemotherapy followed by radical gastrectomy and PAND using the Cattell-Braasch maneuver. This maneuver consists of mobilization of the right hemi-colon and the total small intestine.RESULTS:
Five patients received preoperative chemotherapy for para-aortic lymph node metastases and 2 for bulky lymph node metastases around the supra-pancreatic area. All patients received S-1 + cisplatin therapy, and one was additionally treated with paclitaxel chemotherapy followed by nivolumab. After chemotherapy, 2 patients with para-aortic lymph node metastases achieved down-staging on imaging tests. Total gastrectomy with PAND by the Cattell-Braasch maneuver was performed on all patients and was accompanied by splenectomy (n = 5) and distal pancreatectomy (n = 1). Pathological assessments revealed that 3 patients had para-aortic lymph node metastases, and the median number of retrieved para-aortic lymph nodes was 16. Three patients without para-aortic lymph node metastasis survived for more than 5 years without recurrence.CONCLUSION:
The Cattell-Braasch maneuver provides a good surgical field and is useful for complete PAND for gastric cancer.Mots clés
