D2 lymphadenectomy is still considered a controversial topic in treatment of gastric cancer, but is gaining favor in Western surgical therapy.

We believe that the laparoscopic approach provides superior visualization to the traditional open procedure allowing appropriate nodal and oncologic resection.
