“…Appleby's procedure was originally reported by Appleby (12) in 1953 and was performed widely by Wada et al (13) in the 1980s. The purpose of this procedure is to dissect the lymph nodes along the celiac (n = 9), common hepatic (n = 8), and splenic (n = 11) arteries by completely resecting these arteries.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
