[The path of gastric lymphatic drainage and its significance for redical resection of gastric carcinoma].
By dissecting 31 corpses' stomach and then thining the gastric lymphatic system with prussian blue staining, we found out that the gastric lymphatic return from the visceral surface to the parietal pleura mainly takes three ways: a lymphatic nodes of the coelica artery trunk, a lymphatic nodes beside the superior mesenteric artery, and lymphatic nodes beside the left inferior phrenic. The lympha of these paths flew to the parietal pleura around the left renal viens. This result can give reference to cleaning lymphatic nodes beside abdominal aorta during the radical operation of gastric carcinoma.
