Title: Laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy:clinical analysis of 83 cases
Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical application of laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods Clinical data of 83 gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy in our hospital from July 2010 to August 2011 were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed for surgical procedures,operating time,blood loss,time to passage of flatus,post-operative hospital stay,complications,pathology and follow-up.Results Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy and D2 lymph nodes dissection were successfully performed in all except 2 patients with conversion to open surgery because of intraoperative bleeding,including distal subtotal gastrectomy in 70 cases,and total gastrectomy in 11cases.The mean operating time was(173.5±60.5) min,mean blood loss was(101.5±89.5)ml,mean time to passage of flatus was(2.3±1.0) d and mean post-operative hospital stay was(9.3±4.5)d.Anastomotic leakage occurred in 1 patient(1.20%),and postsurgical gastroparesis syndrome in 4 patients(4.82%).The mean number of dissected lymph nodes was(22.3±8.4).There was no tumor recurrence or metastasis after follow-up from one to 13 months.Conclusion Laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy is safe and feasible with advantages of minimal invasiveness and short-term efficacy.
