Abstract: | Unlike benign pathology, progress of laparoscopy in performing cancer surgery has been slow because of fear of safety and oncological adequacy. However, the initial fear has been replaced by optimism as the results from a numerous studies have shown equivalent if not superior results to open surgery. Laparoscopic gastrectomy is safe and oncologic adequate, but time consuming and technically demanding procedure. Laparoscopic surgery has gained wide acceptance in the treatment of early gastric cancer, especially of the distal stomach. The use of laparoscopic surgery for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer remains controversial. Another open question that need complete evaluation is cost-effectiveness analysis of minimally invasive and open approach. |
