Abstract

Gastric cancer is a common malignancy and its radical excision with an adequate lymph node resection provides an improved oncologic outcome. D2 lymphadenectomy in distal or total gastrectomy is considered a highly desirable technique for curable early or locally advanced gastric cancer. Many studies with high-level of evidence confirm the importance of the application of minimally invasive techniques in improving the short and long term outcomes of patients who undergo gastrectomy. A MEDLINE search was performed with the following keywords; "d2 gastrectomy open laparoscopic", "d2 gastrectomy open robotic" and "d2 gastrectomy laparoscopic robotic". The search was narrowed on randomized control trials (RCT). 6 studies in total are included in the study; 5 RCTs on open vs laparoscopic group and 1 RCT on open vs robotic group. There is currently no RCT comparing the laparoscopic vs robotic techniques. The superiority of laparoscopic gastrectomy towards the open technique is widely accepted, yet the proven acceptance of minimally invasive robotic techniques is still debated and not scientifically established. Technical challenges are the main point of discussion among the experts on the field, as well as the advantages of laparoscopic and robotic assisted gastrectomy over the conventional open. This review provides a comparison on technical aspects, the short and long term outcomes of open and minimally invasive gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy in early and advanced gastric cancer.

Attention Score in Context

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 03 March 2020.
All research outputs
#22,771,990
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Journal of B U ON official journal of the Balkan Union of Oncology
#352
of 792 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#386,466
of 446,429 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of B U ON official journal of the Balkan Union of Oncology
#59
of 150 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 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 792 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.2. 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 446,429 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 150 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.
