[Surgical Outcomes of Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Upper Gastric Cancer and Verification of the Validity of Laparoscopic Proximal Gastrectomy].
Gan to Kagaku Ryoho. Cancer & Chemotherapy 2023 December
Laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy(LPG)for upper gastric cancer is still inadequate. We verified the validity of LPG by comparing the surgical outcomes of 15 cases who underwent LPG(PG group)and 14 cases who underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy(TG group)in 29 cases who underwent laparoscopic surgery for upper gastric cancer at our hospital between January 2014 and December 2022. As a patient background, the PG group was significantly older(p=0.03)than the TG group and tended to have more high-risk cases(p=0.12). As a tumor factor, cancer progression tended to be earlier in the PG group(p=0.05). As a surgical(short-term)outcomes, although the range of lymph nodes dissection was narrow (p<0.01)and the amount of blood loss was significantly lower(p=0.01)in the PG group, there was no difference in operation time or postoperative complications between the 2 groups. Furthermore, there was no difference in the rate of weight loss, the rate of change in nutritional indicators in the medium-term(1 year after surgery), or the long-term prognosis.
