Abstract:【Objective】 To compare the effect difference of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) and laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG). 【Methods】 Randomized controlled trial reports on TLDG and LADG from 2008 to 2013 were collected fromPubMed,EMBASE,Medline, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Databases and Pubmed. RevMan 5.1 software were used for data analysis. 【Results】 According to the included criteria, 6 clinical trials were selected finally. Meta-analysis showed that: TLDG blood loss was less than LADG 31.26 mL (P =0.005); The frequency of analgesic usage in the TLDG group was lower 0.38 times than LADG group (P =0.04); TLDG group after one day of serum C-reactive protein levels decreased 0.93 mg/mL (P=0.03), there was no statistical difference in rate of conversion to operative time, hospital stay, and postoperative complications between the two groups (P >0.05). 【Conclusion】 We could not demonstrate the clinical superiority of TLDG over LADG based on our data and a rapid systematic review and meta-analysis. The surgical method may be selected according to patient conditions and the surgeon's preference.
