Brief Summary

Rationale: For the treatment of early gastric cancer (EGC) in the distal portion of the stomach, subtotal gastrectomy and lymph node dissection has been a standard operation. With the increasing tendency toward minimally invasive surgery, there has been an effort to apply minimally invasive techniques to the treatment of EGC. Laparoendoluminal mucosectomy and lesion-lifting gastric wedge resection have been developed for this purpose. However, these methods have the disadvantage of limited indications according to the size, shape and depth of invasion. Kitano et al. performed the first laparoscopy-assisted subtotal gastrectomy with lymph node dissection and manual anastomosis with anterior wall lifting method for a patient with EGC. In 1995, Uyama et al. and Nagai et al. performed laparoscopy-assisted subtotal gastrectomy with lymph node dissections using an automatic stapler instead of manual anastomosis for the gastroduodenal anastomosis. It has been possible to maintain an adequate distance from the lesion to the proximal and distal margins of resection, to perform radical lymph node dissection, and to achieve excellent postoperative recovery. However, there is a very limited evidence of superiority of laparoscopic gastrectomy over open surgery. There is only one interim report of randomized clinical trial of comparing laparoscopic gastrectomy and open gastrectomy. A well-designed clinical study to prove the benefit and safety is definitely needed Objective: to compare Laparoscopy - assisted Distal Gastrectomy (LADG) with Open Distal Gastrectomy (ODG) in terms of survival, recovery, pain, complications, and quality of life (QOL) Hypothesis: LADG is beneficial in QOL, pain, recovery, complications while maintaining equivalent survival with ODG

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • 5 year disease free survival

    Laparoscopy assisted distal gastrectomy could be accepted as a oncologically safe and effective treatment if 5 year disease free survival is not inferior compared to open distal gastrectomy. Any recurrence event will be followed up through regular physical and history examinations, imaging by abdominal computed tomography,esophagogastroduodenoscopy and tumor marker like CEA, CA 19-9,and CA 72-4

    1week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months,1 year, 2 years, 3 years,4 years, & 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Quality of life measured by EORTC QLQ

    1week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months,1 year, 2 years, 3 years,4 years, & 5 years

  • Surgical complications

    1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months, 30 months, 36 months, 42 months, 48 months, 54 months, 60 months

  • Postoperative surgical outcome

    within 1 week daily

  • Overall survival

    1week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months,1 year, 2 years, 3 years,4 years, & 5 years

Study Arms (2)

Laparoscopy assisted distal gastrectomy

EXPERIMENTAL

Laparoscopy assisted distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection.Surgery will be done in similar operative extent with control open distal gastrectomy. Omentectomy will be omitted.

Procedure: laparoscopy assisted distal gastrectomy

Open Distal Gastrectomy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Conventional standard D2 open distal gastrectomy without omentectomy.

Procedure: Open distal gastrectomy

Interventions

under general endotracheal anesthesia, Five laparoscopic ports are made. Lymph node dissection and ligations of vessels are done in laparoscopic field. A 5-6cm small incision is made transversely in RUQ of the abdomen. Through the incisional window, stomach is taken out and resected. A Billroth I gastroduodenostomy using EEA stapler and GIA is performed. Abdomen is closed after hemostasis.

Also known as: LADG
Laparoscopy assisted distal gastrectomy

Open distal gastrectomy is performed under general endotracheal anesthesia. A long midline incision is made. omentectomy is skipped and D2 lymph node dissection is performed. Anastomosis is done in same manner as LADG. Abdomen is closed after hemostasis

Also known as: ODG
Open Distal Gastrectomy
