Abstract:
With continuous advancements in minimally invasive techniques and precision oncology, gastric cancer surgery is rapidly transitioning from traditional open approaches to minimally invasive and intelligent treatment paradigms. Robust clinical evidence, including trials such as CLASS-01 and KLASS-02, confirms the safety and long-term efficacy equivalence of minimally invasive surgery for locally advanced distal gastric cancer. The integration of robotic-assisted surgery with artificial intelligence in preoperative assessment, intraoperative navigation, and postoperative management drives the field toward greater precision and intelligence. Future developments in intelligent surgical operating systems that enables human-machine collaboration and automatic performance are expected to enhance treatment quality and patient outcomes. Concurrently, emphasis on technical standardization, ethical considerations, and legal frameworks is essential to ensure the safe and sustainable advancement of intelligent minimally invasive surgery.
