Abstract:
Laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer has been used for more than 20 years, and gastric cancer treatment is now shifting to a new era because of innovations in surgical instruments and technical advances. Single port gastrectomy (SPG) for gastric cancer has recently been introduced in Korea and Japan. SPG is the ultimate reduced port technique in the view of surgical approaches because the operation is performed through a single incision in the abdominal wall. The first case of SPG was reported in 2010 by Omori and the first case in Korea was reported in 2011 by Park. Because of its short history, the benefits of laparoscopic gastrectomy have not yet been fully evaluated. This review describes the current situation, challenges and the future perspectives of single port laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
