Objective: To compare the short-term efficacy of laparoscopic-assisted verus open distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.
Methods: The data of 29 patients with distal gastric cancer from January 2008 to October 2010 were analyzed.
Results: Twenty-eight underwent laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy while 1 was switched to open surgery. The operative duration was (253.1 ± 32.6) min and the blood loss volume (268.5 ± 101.4) ml. The postoperative recovery time of gastrointestinal peristalsis was (2.1 ± 0.6) d. The length of incision was (5.6 ± 1.6) cm, the hospital stay duration (10.6 ± 2.4) d and the number of dissected lymph nodes (34.5 ± 5.2).
Conclusion: Laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer is both safe and feasible. And it offers many advantages of minimal invasion, less pain and shorter hospital stay.

Division of Advanced Surgical Oncology, Research and Development Center for New Medical Frontiers, Kitasato University School of Medicine, Sagamihara, Japan.
Background: Laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) with Billroth I (B-I) reconstruction is frequently performed for gastric cancer. However, the difference between the circular stapler technique (CS) and delta-shaped anastomosis (DA) remains unclear, especially regarding the postoperative endoscopic physiological findings.
Methods: Three hundred and one patients including 150 CS patients and 151 DA patients during LADG with B-I reconstruction between 2013 and 2019 at Saitama Medical University International Medical Center were chosen as study subjects.

The scope of management of malignant gastric outlet obstruction is ever-expanding. The therapeutic use of endoscopy is gaining popularity not just owing to its technical advancement and satisfactory patient outcomes. With technical success rates close to 96%, stent placement for palliating gastric obstruction has ensured a median survival of about 2 months post-deployment of gastro-duodenal stents.
