Core Tip	Laparoscopic gastrectomy has been de-monstrated to be feasible and oncologically adequate for early gastric cancer (GC). Major criticism arose instead towards the spread of the use of laparoscopy for advanced GC, principally due to its poor suitability to complex maneuvers, such as extended lymphadenectomy. In recent years, robotic surgery techniques have been shown to make certain laparoscopic procedures easier and safer, such as during D2 lymph node dissection. Authors increasingly cite robotic-assisted gastrectomy as one of the most promising tools to extend the minimally invasive surgical indications for advanced GC patients.
