Spleen-Preserving No. 10 Lymph Node Dissection in Gastric Cancer

Not Applicable
Conditions
Overall Survival
Interventions
Procedure: D2 Lymphadenectomy including No. 10
Procedure: D2 lymphadenectomy excluding No. 10
Registration Number
NCT04050787
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

This study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial of two kinds of radical gastrectomy for patients with proximal gastric cancer. One is laparoscopic D2 radical total gastrectomy combined with spleen-preserving No.10 lymph node dissection , another one is laparoscopic D2 radical total gastrectomy without clearing the No. 10 lymph nodes of the spleen. We explore the effect of the two procedures on the survival of patients, as well as the surgical complications associated with the two procedures, the number of lymph node dissection, the operation time and the amount of intraoperative blood loss. Furthermore, we also want to discuss the application value of laparoscopic lymph node dissection for spleen preservation in radical gastrectomy for proximal gastric cancer.

The number of lymph node dissection1 day
Morbidity30 days; 36 months

The early postoperative complication are defined as the event observed within 30 days after surgery, while the time frame for late complication is the period from postoperative day 31th to the end of month 36th.

3-year recurrence pattern36 months

Recurrence patterns are classified into five categories at the time of first diagnosis: locoregional, hematogenous, peritoneal, distant lymph node, and mixed type
