Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Recently, laparoscopic gastrectomy has been gradually accepted by surgeons worldwide for gastric cancer treatment. Complete dissection of the lymph nodes and the establishment of the surgical margin are the most important considerations for curative gastric cancer surgery. Previous studies have demonstrated that indocyanine green (ICG)-traced laparoscopic gastrectomy significantly improves the completeness of lymph node dissection. However, it remains difficult to identify the tumor location intraoperatively for gastric cancers that are staged ≤T3. Here, the investigatorsinvestigated the feasibility of ICG fluorescence for lymph node mapping and tumor localization during totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy.Preoperative and perioperative data from consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent a laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy were collected and analyzed. The investigators want to know if near-infrared fluorescence imaging with ICG can be successfully used in laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy, and if it contributes to both the completeness of D2 lymph node dissection and confirmation of the gastric transection line. The application of ICG labeled near infrared imaging fluorescence laparoscopic technology is still in the stage of exploration and experience accumulation, and it needs to be comprehensively evaluated through a large number of prospective randomized controlled studies.

Detailed Description

Recently, laparoscopic gastrectomy has been gradually accepted by surgeons worldwide for gastric cancer treatment. Complete dissection of the lymph nodes and the establishment of the surgical margin are the most important considerations for curative gastric cancer surgery. Previous studies have demonstrated that indocyanine green (ICG)-traced laparoscopic gastrectomy significantly improves the completeness of lymph node dissection. However, it remains difficult to identify the tumor location intraoperatively for gastric cancers that are staged ≤T3. Here, the investigatorsinvestigated the feasibility of ICG fluorescence for lymph node mapping and tumor localization during totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy.Preoperative and perioperative data from consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent a laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy were collected and analyzed. The investigators want to know if near-infrared fluorescence imaging with ICG can be successfully used in laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy, and if it contributes to both the completeness of D2 lymph node dissection and confirmation of the gastric transection line. The application of ICG labeled near infrared imaging fluorescence laparoscopic technology is still in the stage of exploration and experience accumulation, and it needs to be comprehensively evaluated through a large number of prospective randomized controlled studies.By recruiting patients and signing informed consent, randomized control was used to divide patients into the experimental group (fluorescently labeled fluorescently laparoscopic proximal gastric cancer surgery) and the control group (fluorescently labeled fluorescently laparoscopic proximal gastric cancer surgery). In the experimental group, indocyanine green fluorescence labeling was performed under gastroscope before surgery and internal jugular vein puncture was performed routinely for better fluid replenishment after surgery. Lymph nodes and diseased stomach tissues were collected during operation. Postoperative assessment was made for ICU support, routine acid-suppressing therapy, prophylactic antibiotics, analgesia, and nausea suppression. The patients were followed up for 3 years. The primary outcome was 3-year disease-free survival, and the secondary outcome was lymph node positive rate, early complication rate and surgical mortality. The investigators plan to obtain more precise evidence-based medical evidence through this project.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: indocyanine green labeled fluorescent laparoscopy

The experimental group was marked with indocyanine green, while the control group was not marked with indocyanine green

Behavioral: indocyanine green labeled fluorescent laparoscopy
indocyanine green fluorescence labeling was performed under gastroscope before surgery and internal jugular vein puncture was performed routinely for better fluid replenishment after surgery

Experimental: The pathological staging

They were grouped by different pathological stages

Behavioral: indocyanine green labeled fluorescent laparoscopy
indocyanine green fluorescence labeling was performed under gastroscope before surgery and internal jugular vein puncture was performed routinely for better fluid replenishment after surgery

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Three-year disease-free survival rate [Through study completion,an average of 3 years]

    To evaluate the difference of 3-year disease-free survival rate between the experimental group and the control group

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. lymph node positive rate [up to 1 week]

    To evaluate the difference oflymph node positive rate between the experimental group and the control group

  2. Incidence of early complications [up to 1 week]

    The incidence of lymphatic leakage, shock and gastric stump leakage were used as secondary outcome measures

  3. operative mortality [up to 24 hours]

    To investigate whether the mortality of laparoscopic proximal gastric cancer surgery marked with indocyanine green was lower than that of the control group
