Core Tip This study used propensity score matching and inverse probability of treatment weighting to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients with a history of upper abdominal surgery. The results showed that although laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy required a longer operative time, it was associated with faster postoperative recovery and a shorter hospital stay. Moreover, even among patients at high risk of intra-abdominal adhesions, the laparoscopic approach was not an independent predictor of surgical difficulty. Therefore, laparoscopic surgery should not be considered a contraindication in gastric cancer patients with prior upper abdominal surgery.
