Abstract
The robotic approach for the treatment of gastric cancer (GC) has been initially adopted mainly in Asia, where this malignant disease is more common than in Western countries and it is diagnosed at earlier stages thanks to a screening program. Among Asian countries, South Korea started to embrace the robotic technique in 2005 and now it has become one of the leading countries in robotic gastric cancer surgery. In this chapter we present our experience of robotic subtotal gastrectomy (RSTG) with D2 lymph node (LN) dissection for GC where the step-by-step procedure is based mostly on the technique of Dr Woo Jin Hyung [1].
