Core Tip	Intraoperative blood loss (IBL) has been shown to be associated with poor outcome in various types of malignancy. In this study, we found that the overall survival of gastric cancer patients was significantly affected by the amount of IBL, and IBL was an independent prognostic factor in multivariate analysis. We suggest that meticulous surgery and new surgical methods such as the application of an ultrasonic scalpel in lymph node dissection should be used to decrease the amount of IBL and improve the long-term outcome of gastric cancer patients following curative gastrectomy.
