The anatomical boundary of mesogastrium is well described and dissected within D2 + CME surgical process. It proves to be safely feasible and repeatable with less blood lost, qualified lymph nodes retrieval results and other improved short-term surgical outcomes in advanced gastric cancer. Meanwhile, potential disseminated cancer cells fall into the mesogastrium can be eradicated by D2 + CME.

An optimal mesentery-defined approach for laparoscopic D3 + CME allows for ligation of feeding vessels at their bifurcation and for CME to be performed simultaneously with technical efficiency. This procedure is safe and strongly practical for advanced right colon cancer intervention.
