Evaluation of efficacy of a polyglycolic acid sheet in laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a single-center retrospective study

Key Points

• The use of polyglycolic acid sheets improves recovery in patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy.
• In the study, the application of these sheets resulted in a noticeable reduction of complications such as leakage in some patients.
• This retrospective analysis assesses outcomes from a single center, focusing on clinical implications and recovery benefits.
• Further research is necessary to validate these findings and explore broader applications beyond a single center.
