| Abstract |
The present study summarizes the 11-year laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery experience of a single institution in South Korea and evaluates the current trends of laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery through our experience. A total of 3000 minimally invasive gastric cancer surgeries were performed at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital between May 2003 and January 2014. The types of laparoscopic gastrectomy used, surgical techniques, postoperative morbidities, and long-term oncologic outcomes were analyzed. The proportion of challenging procedures such as laparoscopic total gastrectomy and laparoscopic gastrectomy for patients with advanced gastric cancer increased during the study period. The frequency of laparoscopic function-preserving gastrectomy for patients with early-stage cancer also increased. The overall rate of complications was 16.7 %; surgical and systemic complication rates were 11.8 and 6.2 %, respectively. There was one case of postoperative mortality due to delayed bleeding after discharge. Male gender, high BMI, long operating times, combined resection of other organs, and total and proximal gastrectomies were independent predictors of surgical morbidities; however, pathologic T-stage was not a predictable factor. Accumulated experience in laparoscopic surgery decreased the surgical complication rates of total and proximal gastrectomies more than it did in distal gastrectomy over time. The 5-year overall survival rates of patients in advanced stages and those who underwent laparoscopic total gastrectomy were comparable to those reported previously. Our results indicate the trends toward the expansion of laparoscopic approaches to technically demanding procedures and an increased use of laparoscopic function-preserving surgeries for patients with EGC with acceptable outcomes. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 December 2015.
All research outputs
#20,299,108
of 22,836,570 outputs
Outputs from Surgical Endoscopy
#5,650
of 6,040 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#327,731
of 390,618 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Surgical Endoscopy
#82
of 104 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,836,570 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,040 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 390,618 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 104 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
