TI  - Our Short- and Long-Term Results of Laparoscopic Gastrectomy in Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer
AB  - Objective: Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cause of death worldwide and the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths. Minimally invasive surgery now offers many advantages to both patients and surgeons all over the world. In our study, we presented our laparoscopic experiences in locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) surgery. Method: Data of patients who underwent gastrectomy for LAGC in our clinic between January 2010 and January 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Gastrectomy was performed on 288 patients with LAGC. Although laparoscopic surgery was conducted on 96 patients (33.3%), open surgery was performed on 192 (66.7%) patients. The mean operation time was 122.96 ± 44.06 (60-300) min. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of anastomotic leakage (p = 0.724). The mean length of stay was 12.54 days in patients undergoing open surgery and 9.36 days in those undergoing laparoscopic surgery, with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Although the learning curve is long and requires experience, we think that laparoscopic surgery is feasible in LAGC, as in early-stage gastric cancer.
