Abstract:

Objective To explore the effectiveness and safety of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) and laparoscopically assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) for gastric cancer. Methods The comparative studies of TLDG and LADG published between 2008 and 2014 were searched from PubMed,EMBASE,Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM),China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI).After screening for inclusion,data extraction,and quality assessment,RevMan 5.3 software was used for Meta-analysis. Results Ten studies of 2 212 patients were included in the Meta-analysis,among whom 930 cases underwent TLDG and 1 282 cases underwent LADG.The results of Meta-analysis indicated that compared with LADG,TLDG had the advantages of less blood loss(WMD=-20.70,95%CI:-30.81--10.59,P<0.01),less usage of analgesic(WMD=-0.38,95%CI:-0.74--0.02,P=0.04),more retrieved lymph nodes(WMD=2.98,95%CI:0.71-5.26,P=0.01).However,the Meta-analysis showed no statistically significant differences in the operation time,postoperative time-to-first flatus and oral intake,postoperative hospital stay,length of proximal resection margin,C reaction protein(CRP) level at postoperative day 1,incidence of overall complications and anastomosis-related complications. Conclusion TLDG is safe and effective with less blood loss,less pain than those of LADG.Moreover,it has comparable results to conventional LADG,with no increase of postoperative complications.

Key words: totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, laparoscopically assisted distal gastrectomy, Meta-analysis
