Core Tip	The JGCA guidelines recommend splenic hilar lymph node (LN) dissection in patients with upper- and middle-third advanced gastric cancer. However, the surgery is made more difficult by anatomic complications of the vessels around the stomach, particularly the splenic vessels, which are located in a narrow, deep space. The inability to intuitively judge the shape of the splenic vessels increases the likelihood of vascular injury. Preoperative assessment of the splenic vascular anatomy at the splenic hilum is important for the safe and rapid performance of laparoscopic spleen-preserving splenic hilar LN dissection. Computed tomography with 3D imaging can be used for surgical guidance to reduce the risks of splenic LN dissection.
