Abstract:
Laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer has been developed in China for more than 20 years. It has gone through the initial stage of exploration in the 1990s, the stage of learning and accumulation in the early 21st century, the stage of development and expansion in the 2010s, and the current stage of standardization, and innovation. Laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery in China has developed from less to more, from more to popular. Surgical techniques have gradually become mature, innovated, and standardized, medical evidence has accumulated, and academic exchanges have become increasingly active and valued by the world. In the future, it is expected to make new progress and breakthrough in tumor specific laparoscopic navigation surgery system, intelligent robotic gastric cancer surgery platform, functional preservation surgery for early gastric cancer under the integration of gastroenterologists and surgeons, and laparoscopic comprehensive treatment for peritoneal metastasis. By reviewing the development of laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery in China, the authors draw inspiration from the depths of history, inherit and innovate, look forward to the future, and pay tribute to the predecessors.
