However, there is little information regarding the benefits of laparoscopy\u2010assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG). LADG and conventional open distal gastrectomy (DG) for early gastric cancer were compared in terms of operative outcome, recovery of bowel function, complications, and changes in body weight. Thirty\u2010four patients underwent LADG for early gastric cancer. These patients were compared with 31 patients who underwent DG during the same period. For estimating gastrointestinal motility recovery, 20\u00a0radiopaque markers were inserted into the duodenum during surgery, and abdominal X\u2010rays were taken daily until all markers were seen in the ascending colon. Age, gender, and histologic differentiation of the lesions were matched. The LADG group required a significantly longer operative time and the dissection of fewer lymph nodes. Postoperative hospital stay and the occurrence of postoperative complications (ileus) were significantly shorter and less frequent in the LADG group. The LADG group showed a more rapid recovery of gastrointestinal motor function compared with the DG group during the early postoperative period. Body weight 24\u00a0months after LADG was about 100% of pre\u2010illness weight, but no further weight change was encountered in the DG group. For selected patients with early gastric cancer, LADG with lymphadenectomy can provide a rapid recovery and good quality of life without compromising the cure rate.\n<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00268-002-6286-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,11,19]],"date-time":"2003-11-19T20:53:30Z","timestamp":1069275210000},"page":"1145-1149","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":117,"title":["Gastrointestinal Recovery and Outcome after Laparoscopy\u2010assisted versus Conventional Open Distal Gastrectomy for Early Gastric Cancer"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Erito","family":"Mochiki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"First Department of Surgery Faculty of Medicine Gunma University 3\u201039\u201015, Showa\u2010machi Maebashi 371\u20108511 Japan<!--<country1>JAPAN<\/country1>-->"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Toshihiro","family":"Nakabayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Department of Surgery Faculty of Medicine Gunma University 3\u201039\u201015, Showa\u2010machi Maebashi 371\u20108511 Japan<!--<country1>JAPAN<\/country1>-->"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hitoshi","family":"Kamimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Department of Surgery Faculty of Medicine Gunma University 3\u201039\u201015, Showa\u2010machi Maebashi 371\u20108511 Japan<!--<country1>JAPAN<\/country1>-->"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Norihiro","family":"Haga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Department of Surgery Faculty of Medicine Gunma University 3\u201039\u201015, Showa\u2010machi Maebashi 371\u20108511 Japan<!--<country1>JAPAN<\/country1>-->"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takayuki","family":"Asao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Department of Surgery Faculty of Medicine Gunma University 3\u201039\u201015, Showa\u2010machi Maebashi 371\u20108511 Japan<!--<country1>JAPAN<\/country1>-->"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Kuwano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"First Department of Surgery Faculty of Medicine Gunma University 3\u201039\u201015, Showa\u2010machi Maebashi 371\u20108511 Japan<!--<country1>JAPAN<\/country1>-->"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,6,21]]},"container-title":["World Journal of Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/content\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00268-002-6286-8.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00268-002-6286-8\/fulltext.html","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1007\/s00268-002-6286-8","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,27]],"date-time":"2023-12-27T20:41:37Z","timestamp":1703709697000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1007\/s00268-002-6286-8"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2002,6,21]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2002,9]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1007\/s00268-002-6286-8"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s00268-002-6286-8","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0364-2313","1432-2323"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0364-2313","type":"print"},{"value":"1432-2323","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2002,6,21]]}}}
