Abstract

Objective: To assess the early results of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection for gastric cancer. Subject and method: From 22/01/2019 to 7/07/2020, 100 patients were performed totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, D2 lymph nodes dissection at Digestive Surgery Department, 108 Military Central Hospital. Interventional study, clinical description. Data on patients and surgical characteristics, postoperative pathology characteristics, postoperative complications were collected and analyzed. Result: Postoperative pathology: T1a was 14%, T1b was 16%, T2 was 20%, T3 was 25%, T4a was 25%; N0 was 61%, N1 was 10%, N2 was 16%, N3 was 13%.  The mean number of retrieved lymph nodes was 28.53 ± 10.34. The total number of havested lymph node was 2840; 8.38% was metastasis lymph node. The mean distance from the resection edge to the tumor was 6.23 ± 3.32cm. 100% of the line cut above the tumor and the line cut below the tumor had no cancer cells. There was no open conversion. The mean operating time was 141.06 ± 26.32 (129 - 215) mins, the mean blood loss was 19.16 ± 10.92 (10 - 30) ml, and the mean hospital stay was 9 day (5 - 44) days. There was 1 case (1%) of anastomosis leakage after surgery, 03 patients presented with afferent loop syndrome, 01patient had the fistula between stomach and transverse colon, discovered 1 year after surgery; 1 patient had to reoperate due to internal hernia 3 months postoperatively. Conclusion: Totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection can be done safely and feasibly in the treatment of stomach cancer
