Abstract:
Objective To study the feasibility of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.Methods From August 2006 to May 2007,31 patients with gastric cancer received laparoscopic radical gastrectomy(radical distal gastrectomy in 26 cases and radical total gastrectomy in 5).Results Among the cases,1 was converted to an open surgery,2 were treated completely by laparoscopic radical gastrectomy;and in the other 28 cases,the radical gastrectomy was performed under the assistance of laparoscopy.Lymph node dissection of D1+? was performed on 2 patients and D2/D2+ was adopted in the other 29.One case was done in combination with partial liver dissection.The median operative time was 5 h(range 4.5-7 h).The median blood loss was 150 ml(range,100-600 ml).One patient received blood transfusion during the operation.Intraoperative spleen injury occurred in one case.The median number of harvested lymph nodes was 20(range,14-33).No patient died after the surgery.The median time for gastrointestinal function recovery was 4 d(range 3-6 d).One patient developed gastroparalysis after the operation and was cured by conservative therapy.One of the patients had bleeding of the jejunal pouch after total gastrectomy.And one showed subluxation of the articulatio cricothyroideus.No anastomotic leakage and lung infection occurred after the surgery.And no recurrence or metastasis was found during a 2-to 8-month follow-up(median,5).Conclusion Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy is feasible and safe.
