Radical excision by surgery is the main treatment method for gastric cancer and as the surgery develops, the laparoscopic treatment effect on gastric cancer is gradually being verified. The totally laparoscopic gastrectomy (TLG) with natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) for gastric cancer has attracted people's attention by avoiding abdominal incision and further reducing surgical injury and provides ideas for the further development of minimally invasive surgical treatment on the basis of laparoscopy. Surgical technique of TLG with natural orifice (vagina) specimen extraction is detailed in the text. We have employed NOSES in 4 cases of TLG in the past year. The visual analogue scale score was low, and all patients had no complications during and after the operation. No recurrence or metastasis was found in the short-term follow-up. TLG with NOSES is feasible and has many advantages such as aesthetics, light post-operative pain.
