When one patient was enrolled, he will be randomly divided into experimental group (totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy) or control group (laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy). When he receives surgery, intraoperative parameters would be recorded. when the patient discharges, the routine follow-up would be regularly performed for the survival.
This study was designed as a randomized clinical trial comparing the totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with laparoscopy-assisted distal gastroectomy for patients with gastric cancer, in terms of short-term and long-term outcomes.
