- Abstract: 【Objective】 To explore the application value of preoperative gastroscopic carbon nanoparticles labeling in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastric cancer surgery. 【Methods】 We included cases of laparoscopic radical gastric cancer surgery at The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from January 2017 to December 2019. Some cases received submucosal injection of carbon nanoparticles under the gastroscope before surgery. The effects of carbon nanoparticles labeling on the number of lymph nodes detected, operation duration and surgical complications were compared and analyzed. 【Results】 A total of 397 patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastric cancer surgery were enrolled. Among them, 78 cases underwent gastroscopic carbon nanoparticles tracer labeling before operation. No complications were observed. The total number of lymph nodes detected by pathology after surgery in the carbon nanoparticles group significantly increased [(22.0(4.0) vs. 22.0(3.0), P=0.033)] while the operation time significantly reduced [(185.0±37.48)min vs. (213.4±23.66)min, P<0.001] compared with those in the control group. New gastric cancer lesions were revealed by gastroscopy in three cases (3.8%) of carbon nanoparticles labeling, and the original planned operation method was changed in two cases (2.6%). 【Conclusion】 Preoperative endoscopic carbon nanoparticles tracer labeling can not only help shorten the time of laparoscopic radical surgery for gastric cancer and increase the number of total lymph nodes detected for more accurate TNM staging, but also provide an opportunity for the discovery of synchronous multiple gastric cancer.
