- Abstract
Short-term outcomes of laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) and open DG (ODG) have been investigated in previous clinical trials, but operative techniques and concomitant treatments have evolved, and up-to-date evidence produced by expert surgeons is required to provide an accurate image of the relative efficacies of the treatments. The purpose of this study was to compare laparoscopic versus ODG with respect to specific primary and secondary short-term outcomes.
