Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), a newly developed endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) technique, can completely cure a differentiated mucosal gastric cancer smaller than 2 cm. For early-stage gastric cancers (EGCs) deviating from the above-mentioned criterion, gastrectomy with lymph node dissection is performed for potential risk of lymph node metastasis (LNM). However, many of surgical EGC cases actually do not have LNM, indicating this surgery may not be necessary for many cases of EGC. To avoid this unnecessary surgery, we have introduced laparoscopic lymph node dissection (LLND) after ESD. Standard gastrectomy with extended lymph node dissection is indicated for patients if LLND reveals LNM. We present our novel approach and the preliminary results of EGC patients having potential risk of LNM.
