Evaluation of Preliminary Results Of Laparoscopic and Open Surgery in Gastrectomy For Gastric Cancer: Single-Center Experience

Aim: This study aims to compare the early results of laparoscopic and open surgery gastric cancer, which is sixth most common cancer in all age groups both genders. Materials Methods: Patients who were operated on for between May 2018 October 2021 analyzed retrospectively. The data patients underwent collected short-term compared. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used determine normal distribution, mean+standard deviation, median (minimum-maximum) continuous values. Student-t-test parametric measurements Mann-Whitney-u non-parametric measurements. chi-square categorical variables. Results: 140 included analyzed. In surgery, length stay intensive care unit shorter number lymph nodes removed found be higher. Length hospital postoperative complications similar. operation time longer surgeries. Conclusion: Considering this study, we compared our results, can predict that resection safely performed by experienced surgeons appropriate centers. As surgical experience increases, believe laparoscopy, gold standard surgeries such as gallbladder, appendectomy, prostatectomy, may become future.
