Objective: The present study aimed to compare intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy versus totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) Billroth I (BI) for gastric cancer and to assess the impact of the initial introduction phase of TLDG BI anastomosis.
Patients And Methods: The study analyzed the prospectively collected data of patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy BI from 2014 to 2021 at Seoul National University Hospital.
Results: Among 1116 patients, laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy BI was performed in 566 patients and TLDG BI was performed in 550 patients.
