Abstract

The aim of this paper is to assess the usefulness of sentinel lymph node navigation for laparoscopic gastrectomy. The standard lymph node dissection for gastric cancer is a D2 dissection. D2 dissection and sentinel lymph node biopsy can be performed with laparoscopic gastrectomy as well as with open surgery. Sentinel lymph node navigation surgery for gastric cancer has not yet been established, but once a strong consensus is reached we will be able to perform the laparoscopic gastrectomy safely.

[The advances of laparoscopic treatment for gastric cancer].

Recently, laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer is very interesting topic in the treatment of gastric cancer. Therefore,many surgeons are attempting laparoscopic surgery. However, the technique of this surgery has never been established yet. From July 1997 to July 2006, we performed laparoscopic surgeries for 420 cases of gastric cancer with lymph node dissection. We have describe our technical advances in laparoscopic treatment for gastric cancer along with the clinical outcomes.

Meta-analysis of short-term outcomes after laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy.

AIM: To elucidate the current status of laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with regard to its short-term outcomes by comparing it with conventional open distal gastrectomy (CODG). METHODS: Original articles published from January 1991 to August 2006 were searched in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Controlled Trials Register. Clinical appraisal and data extraction were conducted independently by 2 reviewers. A meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model. RESULTS: Outcomes of 1611 procedures from 4 randomized controlled trials and 12 retrospective studies were analyzed. Compared to CODG, LADG was a longer procedure (weighted mean difference [WMD] 54.3; 95% confidence interval [CI] 38.8 to 69.8; P < 0.001), but was associated with a lower associated morbidity (odds ratio [OR] 0.54; 95% CI 0.37 to 0.77; P < 0.001); this was most significant for postoperative ileus (OR 0.27; 95% CI 0.09 to 0.84; P = 0.02). There was no significant difference between the two groups in anastomotic, pulmonary, and wound complications and mortality. Duration from surgery to first passage of flatus was faster (WMD -0.68; 95% CI -0.85 to -0.50; P < 0.001) and the frequency of additional analgesic requirement (WMD -1.36; 95% CI -2.44 to -0.28; P = 0.01), and duration of hospital stay (WMD -5.51; 95% CI -7.61 to -3.42; P < 0.001) were significantly lower after LADG. However, a significantly higher number of lymph nodes were dissected by CODG (WMD -4.35; 95% CI -5.73 to -2.98; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: LADG for early gastric cancer is associated with a lower morbidity, less pain, faster bowel function recovery, and shorter hospital stay.
