Partial omentectomy maybe practicable for T3 or shallower gastric cancer patients

Total omentectomy is often performed with gastrectomy as radical surgery for gastric cancer (GC) patients. However, it remains controversial whether GC patients can benefit from omentectomy. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence and clinical significance of tumor deposits (TDs) in different anatomical subregions of perigastric omentum in GC patients undergoing gastrectomy with total omentectomy.
