Abstract
Background. Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) has been applied to the treatment of
gastric cancer, and there are now several publications regarding its safety and feasibility. In contrast,
there have been few reports on laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG), because this procedure is
performed less frequently and is technically more difficult to perform than LADG. The purpose of the
present study was to evaluate short-term outcomes in a multicenter study of LATG, as well as its safety
and feasibility.
Methods. A retrospective multicenter study was carried out in Korea involving 1,485 patients who
underwent laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy for gastric cancer at 10 institutions between April 1998 and
December 2005. Of these patients, 131 underwent LATG. We evaluated and analyzed the short-term
outcomes and the clinicopathologic characteristics of the 131 patients.
Results. The mean (± SD) operation time was 270 ± 79 min; 1 patient required conversion to an open
procedure. The mean number of retrieved lymph nodes was 34.7. The mean duration of hospital stay was
11.3 days, and first intake of soft diet was at 5.8 days. The rate of postoperative morbidity was 19%
(25/131 patients); there was no mortality. The most common postoperative morbidity was wound
complications at the mini-laparotomy site, and there were 3 cases of anastomotic leakage. Six patients
(5%) had recurrence of cancer, and 9 patients (7%) died during the follow-up period.
Conclusion. Our results suggest that LATG is a safe and feasible procedure for gastric cancer patients. A
prospective, multicenter, randomized trial of LATG is needed to confirm the efficacy of this procedure.
