compared with open distal gastrectomy (ODG) in patients with clinical stage I gastric cancer …

To clarify the safety profile of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) for gastric cancer
patients, the short‐term outcome of LDG was compared to that of open distal gastrectomy …

Importance Laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is gaining popularity over open distal
gastrectomy for gastric cancer because of better early postoperative outcomes. However, to …

A randomized controlled trial to evaluate the long-term outcomes of laparoscopic distal
gastrectomy for gastric cancer is currently ongoing in Korea. Patients with cT1N0M0 …

Background Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) is increasingly being used as
an alternative to open distal gastrectomy (ODG) for gastric cancer treatment. Retrospective …

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to compare short term outcomes and oncological value of
laparoscopy assisted (LADG) and open distal gastrectomy (ODG) in the treatment of early …

Objectives The aim was to conduct a meta-analysis of the randomized evidence to
