Brief summary
This study is to evaluate if Bio-absorbable Felt(NEOVEIL®) makes the amount of exudate reduce and shortens time until drain removal after minimally invasive surgery for early gastric cancer.
Detailed description
We investigate the effect on drainage amount of Bio-absorbable Felt(NEOVEIL®) after D1+b or D2 lymphadenectomy with distal gastrectomy for early gastric cancer. This study is an randomised controlled trial undertaken in 7 centers in South Korea. Patients with stage I-II gastric cancer who is going to have curative distal gastrectomy with D1+b or D2 lymphadenectomy are randomly assigned to use bio-absorbable felt(NEOVEIL®) or not to use it. Block randomisation will be done by a central interactive computerised system, stratified by center.
Interventions
To cover bio-absorbable felt over the lymphadenectomy area (hepatoduodenal ligament, #5 and 12/gastroduodenal artery, #6/ pancreas head /suprapancreatic area, #7,8 and 9)
