Laparoscopic gastrectomy is preferred for early gastric cancer with lymph node metastasis risk. Further research and training are needed to advance laparoscopic techniques for advanced gastric cancers.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Early gastric cancer (EGC) management includes laparoscopic wedge resection (LWR), intragastric mucosal resection (IGMR), and laparoscopic gastrectomy.
  • LWR and IGMR are suitable for EGC without lymph node metastasis risk, but their use has declined with advances in endoscopic mucosal resection.
  • Laparoscopic gastrectomy with lymph node dissection is standard for EGC with metastasis risk.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current status and future directions of laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer.
  • To highlight the benefits of laparoscopic surgery, including improved postoperative recovery, pulmonary function, and immune response.
  • To emphasize the need for developing safe techniques and new instruments for advanced gastric cancers.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on laparoscopic procedures for gastric cancer.
  • Discussion of the comparative effectiveness of different laparoscopic techniques.
  • Analysis of the advantages and challenges of laparoscopic gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic gastrectomy is widely accepted for EGC with lymph node metastasis risk.
  • Laparoscopic surgery offers significant benefits in postoperative recovery and physiological function.
  • Technical advancements are crucial for expanding laparoscopic approaches to advanced gastric cancers.

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic gastrectomy is a well-established treatment for EGC with lymph node metastasis.
  • Further development of techniques and instruments is required for advanced gastric cancers.
  • Future efforts should focus on standardized training, multicenter trials, and basic research to optimize laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery.
