A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Totally Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy With Laparoscopy-Assisted Distal Gastrectomy in Early Gastric Cancer
Joo-ho Lee, MD PhD, Joo Hyun Woo, MD. Ewha Womans University School of Medicine INTRODUCTION Most surgeons have performed laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with extracorporeal anastomosis rather than total laparoscopic procedures because of the technical difficulties of intracorporeal anastomosis. However, recently totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) has been reported to be safe, technically feasible,… Continue Reading
