A laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy including D2 lymph node dissection and Billroth I reconstruction was successfully performed. Laparoscopic radical gastric gastrectomy and D2 lymph node dissection were performed through the opposite surgical station to the conventional one, followed by digestive tract reconstruction under small incision-assisted direct vision. There was less blood loss throughout the operation, no postoperative complications, and the patient was discharged successfully 10 days after surgery. Histopathological examination showed ulcerated high-medium differentiated adenocarcinoma stage IB (PT2N0M0). There were no complications or tumor recurrence in the patient with examination 6 months after the operation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Surgery in a patient with gastric cancer and SIT can be safely performed by the application of 3D laparoscopy and small incisions to assist the digestive tract reconstruction under direct vision.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fsurg.2023.1090910","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,21]],"date-time":"2023-03-21T05:35:07Z","timestamp":1679376907000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Case report: Laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer in a patient with situs inversus totalis"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Kaifeng","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanshui","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2437","DOI":"10.2147\/IJGM.S295444","article-title":"Situs inversus totalis: a clinical review","volume":"3","author":"Eitler","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int J Gen Med"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1265","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12051265","article-title":"Look beyond the mirror: laparoscopic cholecystectomy in situs inversus totalis\u2014a systematic review and meta-analysis (and report of new technique)","volume":"12","author":"Enciu","year":"2022","journal-title":"Diagnostics"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"861","DOI":"10.47162\/RJME.62.3.27","article-title":"A rare case of situs inversus totalis associated with sigmoid diverticulitis and appendicular agenesis.
