Laparoscopic gastrectomy(LG)has been developed, and its use has spread widely. One of the merits of this methodology for surgeons is its magnifying effect, which largely contributes to precise lymphadenectomy and lower blood loss. However, by contrast, its restricted view could be a demerit, and care should be taken to avoid trouble duringan operation. Liver retraction is an essential operative procedure to maintain a good surgical field and ensure sufficient working space during LG. We present a novel approach that uses the free jaw(FJ)clip and silicon disk. Our novel approach involved 1 ) exposingthe right crus of the diaphragm and grasping it using a FJ clip; 2 ) elevatingthe left lobe of the liver by usingfree loop plus with a 10- cm Penrose drain attached to the FJ clip grasping the right crus; and 3 ) insertingthe silicon disk between the Penrose drain and the left lobe of the liver. The FJ clip is reusable and easily maneuvered with the commonly used laparoscopy forceps. The last step enables prevention of intraoperative complications such as injury by forceps or energy devices. Therefore, we believe this procedure might be useful for LG, and we will prospectively confirm its usefulness in terms of hepatic function, operative time, and other factors.
