Abstract Background: Few studies on the comparison among robotic, laparoscopic, and open gastrectomy had been reported in gastric cancer . The goal of this study was to evaluate the advantages of robotic-assisted gastrectomy (RAG) by comparing with laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy(LAG) and open gastrectomy (OG). Methods: 147 gastric cancer patients who underwent gastrectomy were enrolled and retrospectively analyzed between January 2017 and July 2019. Short-term outcomes such as operation time, intraoperative estimated blood loss(EBL),number of retrieved lymph nodes, postoperative recovery, learning curve, and long-term outcome such as overall survival(OS) was compared among RAG, LAG and OG groups. Results: RAG group included 47 patients, 44 in the LAG, and 61 in the OG. Basic information such as gender, age, BMI, ASA degree were similar among three groups, and there were no statistically significances in pathological TNM staging, tumor resection extent, resection margin, methods of reconstruction( P ＞0.05). The cumulative sum(CUSUM) method showed that learning curve of RAG reached stability after 17 cases . For short-term outcomes, the RAG group had the shortest EBL( P =0.033), the shortest time to first flatus( P ＜0.001), shortest time to first intake liquid diet ( P =0.004),shortest postoperative hospital stay ( P =0.023)and the largest number of retrieved lymph nodes( P =0.044),the longest operation time( P ＜0.001), the most expensive treatment cost( P ＜0.001),however, there were no significant differences in postoperative drainage, postoperative white blood cell(WBC)count and early complications among three group( P ＞0.05). In addition to long-term outcome, similar OS was observed in three groups. Conclusion: Compared with LAG and OG, RAG has certain advantages in short-term outcomes and is a safe and reliable surgical method. But still need further prospective, multi-center research to confirm this.

Abstract Background: Few studies have been designed to evaluate the short-term outcomes between robotic-assisted total gastrectomy (RATG) and laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). The purpose of this study was to assess the short-term outcomes of RATG compared with LATG for AGC. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 126 and 257 patients who underwent RATG or LATG, respectively. In addition, we performed propensity score matching (PSM) analysis between RATG and LATG for clinicopathological characteristics to reduce bias and compared short-term surgical outcomes. Results: After PSM, the RATG group had a longer mean operation time (291.14±59.18 vs. 270.34±52.22 min, p=0.003), less intraoperative bleeding (154.37±89.68 vs. 183.77±95.39 ml, p=0.004) and more N2 tier RLNs (9.07±5.34 vs. 7.56±4.50, p=0.016) than the LATG group. Additionally, the total RLNs of the RATG group were almost significantly different compared to that of the LATG group (34.90±13.05 vs. 31.91±12.46, p=0.065).Moreover, no significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of the length of incision, proximal resection margin, distal resection margin, residual disease and postoperative hospital stay. There was no significant difference in the overall complication rate between the RATG and LATG groups after PSM (23.8% vs. 28.6%, p=0.390). Grade II complications accounted for most of the complications in the two cohorts after PSM. The conversion rates were 4.55% and 8.54% in the RATG and LATG groups, respectively, with no significant difference (p=0.145), and the ratio of splenectomy were 1.59% and 0.39% (p=0.253). The mortality rates were 0.8% and 0.4% for the RATG and LATG groups, respectively (p=1.000). Conclusion : This study demonstrates that RATG is comparable to LATG in terms of short-term surgical outcomes.

43 Background: D2 lymphadenectomy has been widely accepted as a standard procedure of surgical treatment for local advanced gastric cancer [1,2]. However, neither the dissection boundary nor the extent of the excision for perigastric soft tissues has been described [3-7]. Our previous researches demonstrate the existence of disseminated cancer cells in the mesogastrium [8, 9] and present an understandable mesogastrium model for gastrectomy [10]. Hence, the D2 lymphadenectomy plus complete mesogastrium excision (D2+CME) is firstly proposed in this study, aiming to assess the safety, feasibility and corresponding short-term surgical outcomes. Methods: All of these patients underwent laparoscopy assisted D2+CME radical gastrectomy with a curative R0 resection, and all the operation was performed by Prof. Jianping Gong, chief of GI surgery of Tongji Hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. All participants provided informed written consent to participate in the study. This study was approved by the Tongji Hospital Ethics Committee. The standard surgical procedures in the video are described as follows. Reconstruction of the alimentary tract was done by extracorporeal anastomosis. Standard recovery protocols were followed in postoperative treatments. Results: 68 patients between September 2014 and March 2016 have been recruited with informed consent and underwent laparoscopic D2+CME by a single surgeon. The mean number of retrieved regional lymph nodes was 33.62±11.40 (ranges 14-55). The mean volume of blood loss was 12.44±22.89 ml (ranges 5-100). The mean laparoscopic surgery time was 127.82±17.63 mins (ranges 110-165). The mean hospitalization time was 16.5±3.3 days (ranges 8-28). No operative complication was observed during the hospitalization. Conclusions: The anatomical boundary of mesogastrium is well described and dissected within D2+CME surgical process. It proves to be safely feasible and repeatable with less blood lost, qualified lymph nodes, retrieval results, and other improved short-term surgical outcomes in advanced gastric cancer. Meanwhile, potential disseminated cancer cells fall into the mesogastrium can be eradicated by D2+CME. Clinical trial information: NCT01978444.

161 Background: As robotic surgery techniques advances, robotic gastrectomy has emerged as an alternative modality for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). However, there is a lack of supporting evidence regarding the safety, effectiveness and surgeon acceptance of robotic gastrectomy for AGC patients. Methods: An ambispective cohort study was conducted. We compared surgical and oncological outcomes between robotic and traditional laparoscopic gastrectomy for AGC patients. The Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) method was developed and used to analyze the learning curves of robotic gastrectomy for AGC by two surgeons who had different surgical experience. Results: From August 2011 to June 2017, a total of 134 AGC patients were performed robotic gastrectomy by surgeon A (n = 42) and surgeon B (n = 147). And there were 238 AGC patients received traditional laparoscopic gastrectomy which performed by the same two surgeons over the same period. There were no significant differences between the two operation methods regarding the clinicopathologic characteristics and long-term outcomes (p=0.737). However, robotic gastrectomy group had less operative blood loss (229 ml vs. 240 ml, p=0.031) and less Clavien-Dindo Grade II to IV complications (p=0.006) than laparoscopic group. Clinicopathologic characteristics, short-term and long-term outcomes of the patients treated by surgeon A and surgeon B are similarity. CUSUM analysis showed that operative time reached a stable state after around 12 cases in surgeon A who had more open gastrectomy experience than laparoscopic gastrectomy experience, and 21 cases in surgeon B who had more laparoscopic gastrectomy experience than open gastrectomy experience. The stable operation time was 242 min for surgeon A and 236 min for surgeon B. The number of lymph node dissections was 38 for surgeon A and 28 for surgeon B during their capacity-increasing phase. Conclusions: Robotic gastrectomy achieved superior short-term outcomes and comparable long-term outcomes compared with traditional laparoscopic gastrectomy for AGC patients. Surgeons with sufficient experience in either open or laparoscopic gastrectomy can rapidly overcome the learning curve and performed gastrectomy for AGC patients safely.
