Study Summary

This pilot study aims to provide valuable insights into the optimal surgical approach for robotic distal gastrectomy. By comparing full robotic procedures with assistant-controlled techniques, the results may guide future practice, enhancing surgical efficiency, reducing costs, and improving patient outcomes.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with histologically confirmed gastric adenocarcinoma prior to surgery.

  2. Patients who have undergone a complete (R0) resection.

  3. Patients with an ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) score of 3 or below.

  4. Patients undergoing robotic radical distal gastrectomy.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients under 19 years of age.

  2. Patients who have received preoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

  3. Patients diagnosed with stage IV gastric cancer due to distant metastasis.

  4. Patients diagnosed with malignancies other than gastric cancer.

  5. Patients scheduled to undergo total gastrectomy.

  6. Patients requiring total omentectomy.
