Summary

Laparoscopy-assisted Billroth I gastrectomy offers less trauma, pain, and faster recovery for early-stage gastric cancer compared to open surgery. This minimally invasive approach demonstrates comparable safety and efficacy, improving patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Limited comparative studies exist for laparoscopic versus open gastrectomy.
  • Existing research focuses on colonic resections, leaving a gap in gastrectomy comparisons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the outcomes of laparoscopy-assisted Billroth I gastrectomy with conventional open gastrectomy for early-stage gastric cancer.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive techniques in gastric cancer surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 102 patients undergoing Billroth I gastrectomy for early-stage gastric cancer.
  • Comparison of operative data, blood analyses, and postoperative clinical course between laparoscopy-assisted (49 patients) and open (53 patients) groups.

  • Analysis of demographic features, blood loss, inflammatory markers, nutritional status, pain, gastrointestinal function, hospital stay, and complications.

    • Main Results:

    • Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy showed significantly less blood loss, lower inflammatory markers (leukocytes, CRP, IL-6), reduced analgesic requirements, and faster return of gastrointestinal function (flatus, diet).
    • Patients undergoing laparoscopy-assisted surgery experienced shorter hospital stays and less weight loss postoperatively.
    • No significant differences were observed in operation time, proximal margin, lymph node yield, or complication rates between the two groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Laparoscopy-assisted Billroth I gastrectomy is a less invasive procedure with advantages in reduced surgical trauma, improved nutrition, less pain, and quicker recovery.
    • The technique offers a safe and effective alternative to open gastrectomy for early-stage gastric cancer, with no compromise in operative curability.
    • Skilled application of laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy enhances patient outcomes in gastric cancer treatment.
