| Core Tip |
The Japanese Gastric Cancer Association guidelines stipulate that D2 gastrectomy is required for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer. Due to its technical difficulty and the lack of long-term results, the application of laparoscopic D2 gastrectomy (LGD2) remains questionable. Based on the results of this study, LGD2 had similar reoperation incidence, mortality, and oncologic outcomes compared with the open D2 gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer treatment. Furthermore, LGD2 was associated with lower intraoperative blood loss, lower analgesic consumption, quicker recovery, shorter hospitalization, and lower morbidity, albeit with longer operative time. |
