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.

369 Background: To investigate the oncological feasibility and technical safety of laparoscopic gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for advanced gastric cancer. Methods: 186 advanced gastric cancer patients treated by gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy were eligible for inclusion including those with invasion into the muscularis propria, subserosa, and serosa without involvement of other organs, and stages N0–2 and M0. We retrospectively compared the short- and-long term outcomes between laparoscopic gastrectomy and open gastrectomy. Results: We analyzed short-term outcomes by comparing distal- with total gastrectomy results. We found no significant difference for distal gastrectomy for postoperative morbidity (laparoscopic vs. open: n = 4 (4.6%) vs. n = 1 (3.6%); p= 1.00). We also found no significant difference in postoperative morbidity for total gastrectomy (laparoscopic vs. open: n = 2 (4.0%) vs. n = 1 (4.0%); p= 1.00). No deaths occurred in any group. The entire cohort analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in overall- or recurrence-free survival between the laparoscopic and open groups. For overall survival, there were no significant differences between open and laparoscopic groups for clinical stage II or III ( p= 0.29 and 0.27, respectively), and for pathological stage II or III ( p= 0.88 and 0.86, respectively). For recurrence-free survival, there were no significant differences between open and laparoscopic groups for clinical stage II or III ( p= 0.63 and 0.60, respectively), and for pathological stage II or III (p = 0.98 and 0.72, respectively). Conclusions: Laparscopic gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer compared favorably with open gastrectomy regarding short- and long-term outcomes. Clinical trial information: 160907.

AbstractPatients with early gastric cancer (EGC) who undergo non-curative endoscopic resection (ER) require additional surgery. The aim of the study was to validate surgical and oncological outcomes according to the timing of additional surgery after non-curative endoscopic resection. We retrospectively analyzed long-term follow-up data on the 302 patients enrolled between January 2007 and December 2014. We validated our earlier suggestion that the optimal time interval from non-curative ER to additional surgery was 29 days. All patients were divided into two groups by reference to time intervals from ER to additional surgery of ≤29days (n = 133; group A) and >29 days (n = 169; group B). The median follow-up duration was 41.98 ± 21.23 months. As in our previous study, group B exhibited better surgical outcomes. A total of 10 patients developed locoregional or distant recurrences during the follow-up period, but no significant difference was evident between the two groups. Interestingly, the survival rate was better in group B. Group B (>29 days) exhibited better surgical and oncological outcomes. Thus, additional gastrectomy after non-curative ER should be delayed for 1 month to ensure optimal surgical and oncological outcomes.

Abstract Introduction There has been an increasing interest for the laparoscopic treatment of early gastric cancer, especially among Eastern surgeons. However, the oncological effectiveness of Laparoscopic Gastrectomy (LG) for Advanced Gastric Cancer (AGC) remains a subject of debate, especially in Western countries where limited reports have been published. The aim of this paper is to retrospectively analyze short- and long-term results of LG for AGC in a real-life Western practice. Materials and methods All consecutive cases of LG with D2 lymphadenectomy for AGC performed from January 2005 to December 2019 at seven different surgical departments were analyzed retrospectively. The primary outcome was diseases-free survival (DFS). Secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS), number of retrieved lymph nodes, postoperative morbidity and conversion rate. Results A total of 366 patients with stage II and III AGC underwent either total or subtotal LG. The mean number of harvested lymph nodes was 25 ± 14. The mean hospital stay was 13 ± 10 days and overall postoperative morbidity rate 27.32%, with severe complications (grade ≥ III) accounting for 9.29%. The median follow-up was 36 ± 16 months during which 90 deaths occurred, all due to disease progression. The DFS and OS probability was equal to 0.85 (95% CI 0.81–0.89) and 0.94 (95% CI 0.92–0.97) at 1 year, 0.62 (95% CI 0.55–0.69) and 0.63 (95% CI 0.56–0.71) at 5 years, respectively. Conclusion Our study has led us to conclude that LG for AGC is feasible and safe in the general practice of Western institutions when performed by trained surgeons.
