Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier curve of overall survival of patients operated on for gastric stump neoplasia, who underwent total or subtotal gastrectomy without resection of other organs (No), compared with ...

ABSTRACT Purpose: To explore the effect of different gastrointestinal reconstruction techniques on laparoscopic distal gastrectomy of gastric cancer on the nutritional and anemia status, and quality ...

Objective: To evaluate the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy and robotic distal gastrectomy performed during the same period. Methods: This study enrolled 46 cases of laparoscopic ...

The median follow-up for all patients after randomization was 67.9 months. In both groups, distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection was performed, according to Japanese treatment guidelines.

Introduction The only curative treatment for most gastric cancer is radical gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy (LAD). Minimally invasive total gastrectomy (MIG) aims to reduce postoperative morbidity ...

A 72-year-old man with a history of gastroesophageal reflux disease was admitted with heartburn, nausea, and inability to eat. On a study of gastric emptying, 80% of the gastric contents had been ...

Presently, the two commonly used anastomosis instruments are circular and linear staplers (17). Although sufficient research has shown the feasibility and tumor safety of laparoscopic distal ...

Introduction Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) is regarded as a standard treatment for patients with clinical stage I–III gastric cancer. With the popularisation of the Da Vinci robotic system in ...

There were no language restrictions. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) allocating participants to Roux-en-Y reconstruction or Billroth-I reconstruction after distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
