International Journal of Surgery May 26, 2018
Liu HB, et al. - The feasibility and safety of robot-assisted gastrectomy (RAG) vs conventional laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy (LAG) for the treatment of gastric cancer (GC) were investigated. A retrospective analysis of all procedures (RAG and LAG) performed by one surgeon between 31 January 2017 and 1 December 2017 was performed. Outcomes revealed RAG as a safe and feasible procedure and beneficial for postoperative recovery of gastric cancer patients. Larger lymph nodes dissection from station 6, 7, 10, 11p, and 14v were achieved with RAG when compared to LAG.
