Core Tip
Core tip: Laparoscopic surgery in situs inversus totalis patients with gastric cancer is very rare. We performed laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection and Billroth II anastomosis successfully in such a patient. We hope to share the experience of laparoscopic gastrectomy in a situs inversus totalis patient with this case report.
