Multi-institutional Study on the Assessment of Robotic Surgery for Gastric Cancer

Completed
Conditions
Gastric Cancer
Registration Number
NCT01309256
Lead Sponsor
Yonsei University
Brief Summary

Minimally invasive surgery revolutionized the field of gastric cancer surgery. The surgical robot was introduced to alleviate the difficulty of laparoscopic surgery. Although many studies have reported successful outcomes for robotic surgery, there is no multicenter prospective analysis regarding the advantage of the robotic gastrectomy. The aim of this study is to analyze the surgical outcomes of the robotic gastrectomy focusing on the learning curve, cost-effectiveness, quality of life, and acute-inflammatory reaction in comparison with laparoscopic gastrectomy.

NameTimeMethod
Registration of all robotic gastrectomies performed in South Koreaat the end of the study
Learning curve (operation time and surgical outcome) of robotic gastrectomyfrom the start of the operation to discharge of the patient (usually two weeks after the operation)
Cost-effectiveness comparison between robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomyfrom admission to discharge of the patient (usually from two days before the operation until two weeks after the operation)
Quality of life after robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomyOne day before operation, first OPD visit after the operation (two weeks after the operation), 3M, 12M, 36M, and 60M after the operation
Acute-inflammatory response after undergoing robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomypreop, 2hr, 24hr, 4days and 30 days after the operation
