A multicenter analysis compares complication rates and survival in gastric cancer patients undergoing different surgical techniques, suggesting safety for laparoscopic methods.
LTG is safe and feasible to apply in stage 0-I gastric cancer. Comparing OTG, LTG with a similar overall complication rate and long-term survival, but reduce the incidence of OTG-related complications and does not increase the risk of LTG-related complications in stage 0-I gastric cancer. However, these findings still need to be confirmed in a large clinical trial.
