Core Tip	To our knowledge, no large-scale studies have investigated the survival benefit of bursectomy. Several studies have described the relationship between bursectomy and prognosis in gastric cancer. However, the results were inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to determine the survival benefit of bursectomy by meta-analysis comparing the prognosis in patients undergoing gastrectomy with bursectomy for gastric cancer with that in patients undergoing gastrectomy alone.
