PY - 2018 T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - Many patients with early gastric cancer are currently treated with advanced laparoscopic gastrectomy procedures, such as laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) and laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy, in many countries.1-4 Advanced laparoscopic gastrectomy contributes to both better aesthetics and early postoperative recovery.5 However, the patients’ quality of life (QOL) is mainly affected by late phase complications, such as dumping syndrome and body weight loss resulting from disturbances in oral intake. Therefore, both a minimal invasive approach for early-phase recovery and satisfactory late-phase function after gastric cancer surgery should be carefully considered in patients indicated for these procedures.
