Abstract:
Objective To evaluate postoperative complications of laparoscopy-assisted D2 radical total gastrectomy for gastric cancer as compared with open procedures. Methods In this study,358 patients of gastric cancer undergoing laparoscopy-assisted D2 total gastrectomy or open D2 total gastrectomy between January 2011 and December 2012 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed.Patients were non-randomly divided into laparoscopic group ( LAP,n =165 ) and open surgery group ( OPEN,n =193 ).Operative time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative hospital stay and complications were compared between the two groups. Results Operative time [ 225 ( 195 - 340 ) min vs.230 ( 195 - 300 ) min,P ＞0.05 ] and number of lymph nodes dissected [ (26 ± 4) vs.(27 ± 4 ),P ＞ 0.05] between the LAP group and the OPEN group were not significantly different.Compared with OPEN group,blood loss in the LAP group was less [ 160 ( 80 - 600 ) ml vs.270 ( 150 - 600) ml,P ＜ 0.01 ] and postoperative hospital stay was shorter [ ( 11.4 ± 2.6) d vs.( 13.7 ± 2.4) d,P ＜ 0.01 ].Postoperative complications developed in 18 patients in the LAP group and in 30 patients in the OPEN group,the difference was not statistically significant between the two groups. Conclusions In the hands of experienced surgeons laparoscopy-assisted D2 radical total gastrectomy for gastric cancer is safe,effective and miniinvasive.
