Abstract

Gastrectomy remains the only curative treatment for gastric cancer. Minimally invasive surgery has convincingly shown to achieve similar oncologic outcomes as open surgery while reducing morbidity and length of hospital stay. While laparoscopic assisted gastrectomy has been widely established in recent years, robotic surgery may offer some additional benefits such as better visualization and better means for manipulating the tissue as well as the ability to perform complex reconstructions. Furthermore, the robotic platform may allow for a more complete lymphadenectomy compared to open or laparoscopic gastrectomy.
