Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the short-term, long-term and oncological outcomes of laparoscopic spleen-preserving No. 10 lymph node dissection in a left-sided approach for advanced middle or upper third gastric cancer not invading greater curvature.

Description:

A prospective randomized comparison of laparoscopic spleen-preserving No. 10 lymph node dissection for gastric cancer will be performed, to evaluate the short-term, long-term and oncological outcomes. The evaluation parameters are perioperative clinical efficacy, postoperative life quality, immune function and 3-year survival and recurrence rates.

Intervention

Procedure:
• D2 lymphadenectomy including No. 10
After exclusion of T4b, bulky lymph nodes, or distant metastasis case by diagnostic laparoscopy, Laparoscopic total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy including spleen-Preserving No. 10 Lymph Node Dissection will be performed with curative treated intent. The type of reconstruction will be selected according to the surgeon's experience and anastomotic procedure is performed extracorporeally using a mini-laparotomy
• D2 lymphadenectomy excluding No. 10
After exclusion of T4b, bulky lymph nodes, or distant metastasis case by diagnostic laparoscopy, Laparoscopic total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy excluding spleen-Preserving No. 10 Lymph Node Dissection will be performed with curative treated intent. The type of reconstruction will be selected according to the surgeon's experience and anastomotic procedure is performed extracorporeally using a mini-laparotomy
