Brief summary

To evaluate the clinical efficacy (safety, feasibility and long-term efficacy) of total robotic versus robotic assisted distal gastrectomy for patients with gastric cancer (cT1-4a, N0/+, M0).

Detailed description

In the field of gastrectomy, Hashizume et al. first reported robotic gastrectomy in 2002. Since then, reports on the safety and feasibility of the application of robotic surgical system in the treatment of gastric cancer (GC) have gradually increased. Reports of robotic surgery for GC are increasing, especially in Asia. Several studies confirmed the advantages of robotic gastrectomy when compared with laparoscopic gastrectomy. However, whether total robotic gastrectomy is noninferior to robotic-assisted gastrectomy remains unclear. The investigator first carried out this study in the world to evaluate the efficacy of total robotic versus robotic assisted distal gastrectomy for GC.

Interventions

PROCEDURETotal Robotic Distal Gastrectomy

All the surgical procedures are performed using the robot system.

PROCEDURERobotic-Assisted Distal Gastrectomy

After finishing the lymphadenectomy, the digestive tract reconstruction is performed extracorporal.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Morbidity rates30 daysThis is for the early postoperative complication, which defined as the event observed within 30 days after surgery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
3-year overall survival rate36 months3-year overall survival rate
3-year recurrence pattern36 monthsRecurrence patterns are classified into five categories at the time of first diagnosis: locoregional, hematogenous, peritoneal, distant lymph node, and mixed type.
intraoperative morbidity rates1 dayThe intraoperative postoperative morbidity rates are defined as the rates of event observed within operation.
overall postoperative serious morbidity rates30 daysRefers to the incidence of early postoperative complication which is graded as Clavien-Dindo IIIA or higher
3-year disease free survival rate36 months3-year disease free survival rate
postoperative recovery course30 daysDuration of postoperative hospital stay in days is used to assess the postoperative recovery course.
postoperative nutritional status3, 6, 9 and 12 monthsThe variation of weight on postoperative 3, 6, 9 and 12 months are used to access the postoperative nutritional status.
inflammatory immune responsePreoperative 3 days and postoperative 1, 3, and 5 daysThe variation of white blood cell count from peripheral blood before operation and on postoperative day 1, 3, 5 are recorded to access the inflammatory and immune response
Time of digestive tract reconstruction1 dayFrom the beginning to the end of digestive tract reconstruction
