Background Few studies have been designed to evaluate the short-term outcomes for advanced gastric cancer (AGC) between robotic-assisted total gastrectomy (RATG) and laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) alone. The purpose of this study was to assess short-term outcomes of RATG compared with LATG for AGC.
Methods We retrospectively evaluated 116 and 244 patients who underwent RATG or LATG respectively. Besides, we performed a propensity score matching (PSM) analysis between RATG and LATG for clinicopathological characteristics to reduce bias and compared short-term surgical outcomes.
Results After PSM, the RTAG group had longer mean operation time (291.09±58.41 vs. 271.99±48.41min, p=0.007), less intraoperative bleeding (151.98±92.83 vs. 172.59±97.01ml, p=0.032) and more N2 tier RLNs (9.33±5.46 vs. 7.50±3.86, p=0.018) than the LATG group. Besides, the total RLNs of RATG was at the brink of significance compared to LATG (35.09±12.93 vs.32.34±12.05, p=0.062). However, no significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of length of incision, proximal resection margin, distal resection margin, postoperative hospital stay. The conversion rate was 4.92% and 8.61% in the RATG and LATG groups, respectively, with no significant difference. The ratio of splenectomy was 1.7% and 0.4% respectively. There was no significant difference in overall complication rate between RATG and LATG groups before PSM (24.1% vs. 28.7%; p=0.341) and after PSM (24.1% vs. 33.6%; p=0.102). The grade II complications accounted for most of all complications in the two cohorts both before and after PSM.
Conclusion This study demonstrates that RATG is comparable to LATG in terms of short-term surgical outcomes.
