Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy Is Comparable to Open Surgery for Clinical T4a Gastric Cancer in Short-Term Outcomes: Results from the UMC‑UPPERGI‑01 RCT

The UMC‑UPPERGI‑01 randomized trial (n=208) found laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy had similar 30‑day morbidity and mortality to open surgery for clinical T4a gastric cancer, despite longer operative times and modestly higher blood loss.
