Abstract Background: Laparoscopic surgery has been widely accepted to treat early-stage gastric cancer. However, it is still controversial to perform laparoscopic gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer. We performed the present study to compare the long-term outcomes of patients after laparoscopic or open gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy . Methods: The clinicopathological data of 182 gastric cancer patients receiving gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy between January 2011 and December 2015 at Shenzhen Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital were retrospectively retrieved. The overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of these 182 patients were compared.Results: On the whole, OS (P=0.789) and DFS (P=0.672) of patients receiving laparoscopic gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy were not significantly different from those of patients receiving open surgery. For stage I patients, laparoscopic gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy was not significantly different from open surgery in terms of OS (P=0.573) and DFS (P=0.157). Similarly, for stage II patients, laparoscopic gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy was not significantly different from open surgery in terms of OS (P=0.567) and DFS (P=0.830). For stage III patients, laparoscopic gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy was not significantly different from open surgery in terms of OS (P=0.773) and DFS (P=0.404). Laparoscopic or open gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy was not proven by Cox regression analysis to be an independent prognostic factor for OS and DFS.Conclusions: For patients with gastric cancer, laparoscopic gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy was not inferior to open surgery in terms of long-term outcomes.

The overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of these 182 patients were compared. Then, the prognostic significance of positive lymph node ratio (LNR) was assessed. Results As a whole, OS (P = 0.789) and DFS (P = 0.672) of patients receiving laparoscopic gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy were not significantly different from those of patients receiving open surgery. For stage I patients, laparoscopic gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy was not significantly different from open surgery in terms of OS (P = 0.573) and DFS (P = 0.157). Similarly, for stage II patients, laparoscopic gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy was not significantly different from open surgery in terms of OS (P = 0.567) and DFS (P = 0.830). For stage III patients, laparoscopic gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy was not significantly different from open surgery in terms of OS (P = 0.773) and DFS (P = 0.404). Laparoscopic or open gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy was not proven by Cox regression analysis to be an independent prognostic factor for OS and DFS. High LNR was significantly associated with worse OS (P < 0.001) and DFS (P < 0.001). Surgical type did not significantly affect prognosis of patients with low LNR or survival of patients with high LNR. Conclusions For patients with gastric cancer, laparoscopic gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy was not inferior to open surgery in terms of long-term outcomes. LNR is a useful prognostic marker for GC patients.

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.

BackgroundD2 lymphadenectomy including No. 12a dissection has been accepted as a standard surgical management of advanced lower-third gastric cancer (GC). The necessity of extensive No. 12 nodes (No. 12a, 12b, and 12p) dissection remains controversial. This study aims to explore its impact on long-term survival for resectable GC.MethodsFrom 2009 to 2016, 353 advanced lower-third GC patients undergoing at least D2 lymphadenectomy during a radical surgery were included, with 179 patients receiving No. 12a, 12b, and 12p dissection as study group. A total of 174 patients with No. 12a dissection were employed as control group. Surgical and long-term outcomes including 90-day complications incidence, therapeutic value index (TVI), 3-year progression-free survival (PFS), and 5-year overall survival (OS) were compared between both groups.ResultsNo. 12 lymph node metastasis was observed in 20 (5.7%) patients, with 10 cases in each group (5.6% vs. 5.7%, p = 0.948). The metastatic rates at No. 12a, 12b, and 12p were 5.7%, 2.2%, and 1.7%, respectively. The incidence of 90-day complications was identical between both groups. Extensive No. 12 dissection was associated with increased TVI at No. 12 station (3.9 vs. 0.6), prolonged 3-year PFS rate (67.0% vs. 55.9%, p = 0.045) and 5-year OS rate (66.2% vs. 54.0%, p = 0.027). The further Cox-regression analysis showed that the 12abp dissection was an independent prognostic factor of improved survival (p = 0.026).ConclusionAdding No. 12b and 12p lymph nodes to D2 lymphadenectomy might be effective in surgical treatment of advanced lower-third GC and improve oncological outcomes compared with No. 12a-based D2 lymphadenectomy.

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.

Abstract Background The benefits of laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) in elderly gastric-cancer patients still remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of LG in elderly gastric-cancer patients. Methods We retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent LG or open gastrectomy (OG) between June 2009 and July 2015 in a single high-volume center. We compared surgical, short-term, and long-term survival outcomes among an elderly (≥70 years old) LG (ELG) group (n = 114), a non-elderly (&lt;70 years old) LG (NLG) group (n = 740), and an elderly OG (EOG) group (n = 383). Results Except for extended time to first flatus, the surgical and short-term outcomes of the ELG group were similar to those of the NLG group. The ELG group revealed comparable disease-specific survival (DSS) rates to the NLG group (64.9% vs 66.2%, P = 0.476), although the overall survival (OS) rate was lower (57.0% vs 65.5%, P &lt; 0.001) in the ELG group than in the NLG group. The ELG group showed longer operation time than the EOG group (236.4 ± 77.3 vs 179 ± 52.2 min, P &lt; 0.001). The ELG group had less estimated blood loss (174.0 ± 88.4 vs 209.3 ± 133.8, P = 0.008) and shorter post-operative hospital stay (8.3 ± 2.5 vs 9.2 ± 4.5, P = 0.048) than the EOG group. The severity of complications was similar between the ELG and NLG groups. Multivariate analysis confirmed that LG was not a risk factor for post-operative complications. Conclusions LG is a feasible and safe procedure for elderly patients with acceptable short- and long-term survival outcomes.
