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, and more minimally invasive. We conducted this study to compare the short-term outcomes of LADG with TLDG to provide the basis for standardization of laparoscopic gastrectomy in early gastric cancer.
METHODS AND PROCEDURES In this prospective study, 35 patients with early gastric cancer were randomized to either TLDG or LADG with Billroth II anastomosis from February to August 2001. Clinicopathologic characteristics, operative details, postoperative course and quality of life were compared between two groups. Postoperative pain intensity at rest was measured on 100-mm visual analogue scale during hospital stay. Test of pulmonary function was performed on preoperative day and postoperative day 4. Quality of life was assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30, version 3 and the gastric module STO22 on first visit for follow-up after discharge. Approval of the institutional review board and written informed consent were obtained.

CONCLUSION(S) This study suggests that TLDG with Billroth II anastomosis was safe and feasible as LADG in early gastric cancer. The statistically significant beneficial effect of TLDG were smaller wound below umbilicus compared with epigastric wound after LADG and more healthy physical function of quality of life. Our study is ongoing to overcome the limitation of small sample size.

Respuesta de SAGES al Estudio NordICC sobre el beneficio de las colonoscopias de detección

SAGES desea aclarar los resultados del estudio NordICC y colocarlos en contexto de los esfuerzos de varias agencias nacionales para reducir el riesgo de cáncer colorrectal – la segunda causa de muerte por cáncer más frecuente en los Estados Unidos-, mediante la promoción de la detección y tratamiento oportuno de las lesiones.

SAGES Response to NordICC Study Regarding Benefit of Screening Colonoscopies

The NordICC Study recently published in The New England Journal of Medicine and widely reported on by media outlets has raised questions regarding the benefit of screening colonoscopy in lowering the risk of colorectal cancer and cancer-related deaths among otherwise healthy and symptom-free men and women aged 55 to 64. Provocative headlines and commentaries have […]
