Interventions
Procedure: Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy
Procedure: Robotic Distal Gastrectomy
Registration Number
NCT03313700
Lead Sponsor
Fujian Medical University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the clinical outcomes of the robotic distal gastrectomy for patients with gastric adenocarcinoma(cT1-4a, N-/+, M0).

Detailed Description

Robotic surgery has been developed with the aim of improving surgical quality and overcoming the limitations of conventional laparoscopy in the performance of complex mini-invasive procedures. The study is designed to explore the clinical outcomes of the robotic distal gastrectomy by comparing short- and long-term outcomes including financial cost of robotic and laparoscopic distal gastrectomy in the treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma (cT1-4a, N-/+, M0).
