Abstract: Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy for gastric cancer has rapidly become popular in the past decades due to its minimally invasive advantages over open gastrectomy (OG).
This study was aimed to evaluate the laparoscopic procedure for gastrectomy in case of gastric cancer and compare between laparoscopic and open techniques, outcomes and efficiency and safety. A systematic search using the following keywords, “laparoscopy”, “laparoscopic”, “gastric cancer”, “gastric carcinoma” and “gastrectomy”, was performed through the following bibliographic databases, PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane Library, for literature comparing Laparoscopy gastrectomy (LG), published up to 2016, and we broadened the search range by browsing the related summary, methods and references of retrieved articles. LG is a safe, feasible method for patients with gastric cancer. The results of LG were favorable in regards to much better cosmetics, less blood loss and faster recovery.
Keywords: Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy (LG), “gastric cancer”, “gastric carcinoma” and “gastrectomy”.
