Małczak P, et al. - Researchers performed a systematic review and meta-analysis according to the PRISMA guidelines to assess currently available literature on totally laparoscopic D2 total gastrectomies.

As per findings, the laparoscopic approach for D2 total gastrectomy seemed not increasing the morbidity. Besides, a shorter hospital stay could be achieved with this approach.
