Scoring of modified mesogastrium—modified proposition by Xie et al. of analysing the quality of CME by scoring different parameters by surgical, pathological and embryo-anatomical factors. With “6” being the highest mark while “0” indicated the poorest sample.

Scoring of Mesogastrium
Surgery and Histopatological Scoring of Mesogastrium	“Tri-Junction”	“Pumpkin-Like Surface”	“Little Square”	Root Ligation	Bleeding Amount	Lymph Nodes of Mesogastrium
0 point	Failed to find	Failed to expose	Failed to expose	Failed to reach the root part of blood vessels	>40 mL	Organ + Lymphatic stations 1–6
0.5 point	Not obvious	Not obvious	Not obvious	Not quite satisfied	20–40 mL	Lymphatic stations 1–6 + 7, 8, 10–12
1 point	Very obvious	Very obvious	Very obvious	Quite satisfied	<20 mL	Lymphatic stations 1–8, 10–12 + 9
