Abstract
Total gastrectomy is removal of the stomach in its entirety including the gastroesophageal (GE) junction. This is typically performed for patients with proximal gastric cancer, including Siewert type II and III GE junction cancers, in whom a subtotal gastrectomy with 4- to 6-cm proximal margin does not leave a reasonable gastric remnant. Even though proximal gastrectomy is widely performed in Asia and select US cancer centers for proximal gastric tumors, proximal gastrectomy has not gained wide adoption in Western centers and thus total gastrectomy is generally employed.
