Detailed Description
Although totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) and laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) are both minimally invasive surgeries for gastric cancer with the same surgical treatment principles, in the former, all surgical processes are performed intracorporeally, while, in the latter, extracorporeal gastro-enteric anastomosis is achieved. Whether the procedural differences between TLDG and LADG affect quality of life (QOL)is still under debate.To evaluate how each laparoscopic surgery affect QOL of patients with gastric cancer, it is necessary to compare the postoperative QOL (scoring by questionnaire) between the patients undergoing TLDG and LADG through a multi-center randomized controlled trial.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy The patients who are assigned to LADG group undergo extracorporeal anasto- mosis for gastrointestinal reconstruction. |
Procedure: laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy Group
LADG

Experimental: Totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy The patients who are allocated to TLDG group undergo intracorporeal anastomosis for the recovery of gastrointes- tinal continuity after gastrectomy. |
Procedure: Totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy
