- Laparoscopic D2 Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer: Mid-Term Results and Current Evidence(2019) DIAS, Andre Roncon; JACOB, Carlos Eduardo; RAMOS, Marcus Fernando Kodama Pertille; PEREIRA, Marina Alessandra; SZOR, Daniel Jose; YAGI, Osmar Kenji; BARCHI, Leandro Cardoso; RIBEIRO JR., Ulysses; ZILBERSTEIN, Bruno; CECCONELLO, IvanIntroduction: Although the first laparoscopic gastrectomy was performed in 1991, there was a long delay until it was incorporated into the regular practice of western surgeons. In Brazil, there are only few case series reported and data on its safety and efficacy along with mid- and long-term results are desired. Objective: Present the mid-term results of laparoscopic gastrectomy with curative intent in the treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma and review the current evidence on the therapy of this neoplasia with the laparoscopic access. Methods: Patients who underwent D2 laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Sixty-nine patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 59.2 years and the mean body mass index was 24.2 kg/m(2). Subtotal gastrectomy was performed in 73.9%. The mean number of harvested lymph nodes was 36.7, increased lymph node count and shorter operative time were observed in the last 34 cases. Median hospital stay was 8 days. Postoperative complications occurred in 22 (31.9%) cases. Surgical mortality was 4.3%. Conclusion: Laparoscopic gastrectomy can be performed safely with excellent short- and mid-term results. As experience increases, surgical duration is reduced and lymph node count rises.
