Abstract

Gastric cancer is the most common cancer in Korea, and is often treated by surgical resection. Many postoperative complications or tumor recurrence, however, are managed by the use of imaging-guided interventions. This review describes the spectrum of postoperative complications that occur following gastrectomy, with an emphasis on the interventional procedures used to manage postoperative complications and tumor recurrence.
