a Diagram of resected mesogastrium (yellow) during D2 + CME. b Intraoperative photographs show the standard procedures of mesenteric excision: (1) expose the mesogastrium clearly, (2) separate the mesentery from the mesenteric bed, (3) dissect along with the root of the mesentery, and (4) ligation should reach the root of the blood vessels. c Pictures of each mesogastrium were photographed under laparoscopy before (left) and after dissection (right) during D2 + CME.
