ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer. MethodsA total of 64 patients with advanced gastric cancer underwent radical gastrectomy were selected and randomly divided into control group (32 cases) and observation group (32 cases). The control group underwent elective open gastric cancer surgery, and the observation group underwent elective laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy. The operation related indexes, the incidence of postoperative complications and the recurrence rate one year after operation were compared between the two groups. ResultsCompared with the control group, the observation group yielded significantly longer operation time, shorter length of surgical incision and hospital stays, less amount of intraoperative blood loss, a lower early postoperative VAS score, and earlier postoperative anal exhaust time (all P＜0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the number of lymph nodes dissection between the two groups (P＞0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (6.25% vs. 28.12%, P＜0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the recurrence rate one year after operation between the two groups (9.38% vs. 6.25%, P＞0.05). ConclusionCompared with the open surgery, laparoscopic surgery has a certain efficacy, less trauma and higher safety in treating advanced gastric cancer, which is worthy of promotion and application.
