This is a detailed description of the technique of 'R2' radical gastrectomy for cancer, used in Japan. Points of anatomical and technical interest which are omitted in currently available published outlines of the operation are emphasised to provide a guide of practical value to Western surgeons who wish to adopt the technique.
