Abstract:Abstract: Objective?To explore the safety, feasibility and clinical efficacy of total laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) and laparoscopically assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) in digestive tract reconstruction.?Methods?A retrospective analysis of 84 patients (TLDG group) and 90 patients (LADG group) from January 2014 to December 2015. All the patients underwent operation by the same group of surgeons. The operation time, incision length and intraoperative bleeding volume were compared between the two groups. The short-term prognosis of the two groups was compared. The size of tumors, the number of lymph nodes, the time of exhaust after operation, the time of taking fluids, the time of using painkillers, the time of hospitalization, the cost of hospitalization, the bleeding after operation, anastomotic fistula, anastomotic stenosis, infection and other complications were also compared.?Results?174 patients were successfully operated without conversion to laparotomy or death. There were no significant differences in blood loss, tumor size, lymph node dissection, postoperative bleeding, anastomotic fistula, anastomotic stenosis, infection and other complications between the two groups (P?>?0.05). In TLDG group, the operation time, incision length, postoperative exhaust time, feeding fluids time, use time of analgesics and residence time were not significant (P?>?0.05). Hospitalization time was shorter than LADG group, total hospitalization cost was higher than LADG group, the difference was statistically significant (P?0.05); there was no significant difference in cumulative survival rate between the two groups (P?>?0.05).?Conclusion?TLDG is safe and feasible, and has a good short-term effect.
