PURPOSE: To systematically review efficacyand safety of robotic gastrectomy (RG) compared with conventional laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for gastric carcinoma.
Gastric cancer constitutes a major health problem. Robotic surgery has been progressively developed in this field. Although the feasibility of robotic procedures has been demonstrated, there are unresolved aspects being debated, including the reprodu...

A 60-year-old man underwent total gastrectomy with Japanese D2 lymph node dissection for advanced gastric cancer. The resected specimen was diagnosed as well-differentiated tubular carcinoma, pT3, pN1, cM0, and the final stage was considered as ⅡB. D...
BACKGROUND: The adoption of robotic systems for gastric cancer surgery has been proven feasible and safe; however, a benefit over the laparoscopic approach has not yet been well-documented. We aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes of robotic ver...
BACKGROUND/AIMS: In cases of remnantgastric cancer (RGC) with previous lymphadenectomy, laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) is still uncommon because of the technical difficulties associated with adhesions from previous gastric cancer surgery and va...
