Low Incidence of Postoperative Pneumonia and Intra-abdominal Abscess Following Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy for Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer in Elderly Patients above 75 Years: Propensity Score Matched Comparison to Open Distal Gastrectomy
2022-08-09
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Some randomized clinical trials demonstrated that laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) is technically safe for locally advanced gastric cancer (GC) without compromising the quality of lymph node dissection. However, whether LDG can be indicated for elderly people in general practice remains to be elucidated. To the best of our knowledge, no study has compared open distal gastrectomy (ODG) an...
