Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy for distant gastric cancer.
Methods All 18 patients with distant gastric cancer receiving laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy were analyzed.
Results Laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy was performed successfully in all patients. The mean operation time was (291.33±19.61) min. The mean blood loss was (151.32±71.78) ml. The mean numbers of harvested lymph node were 14.57±3.11. The mean time of gastrointestinal function recovery was (3.46±0.93) d, the mean out of bed activity time was (1.75±0.45) d. All patients were followed up for 1-24 months, mean 11 months. No local recurrence, trocar implant or distant metastasis happened.
Conclusion Laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy is a feasible and safe surgical procedure combined with minimal trauma and fast recovery.
