Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a relatively rare condition, in which the thoracic and abdominal organs are reversed or mirrored from their normal positions. Here, we reported a case of a patient with SIT and advanced gastric cancer with lymph node metastasis who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG).
A 67-year-old man with SIT was clinically diagnosed with T3N2M0 advanced gastric cancer located in the middle gastric body. Three-dimensional reconstruction of computed tomography angiogram revealed that the common hepatic artery originated from the superior mesenteric artery. The patient underwent LDG with D2 lymph node dissection and Roux-en-Y reconstruction. The postoperative course was uneventful.
This case report showed that LDG could be safely performed on a patient even under complex conditions, such as advanced gastric cancer with lymph node metastasis with SIT and vascular anomalies.
全内脏反位(SIT)是一种相对罕见的病症,其中胸腹部器官从其正常位置发生反转或镜像。在此,我们报告了一例患有SIT和伴有淋巴结转移的进展期胃癌患者接受腹腔镜远端胃切除术(LDG)的病例。
一名患有SIT的67岁男性临床诊断为位于胃体中部的T3N2M0进展期胃癌。计算机断层血管造影的三维重建显示肝总动脉起源于肠系膜上动脉。该患者接受了D2淋巴结清扫和Roux-en-Y重建的LDG。术后过程顺利。
本病例报告表明,即使在复杂情况下,如伴有SIT和血管异常的伴有淋巴结转移的进展期胃癌患者,也可以安全地进行LDG。
