This study aimed to compare the postoperative and oncologic outcomes of patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer using CLIs versus ALIs.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This retrospective study included 138 patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy with D2 dissection for gastric cancer at a single institution from January 2018 to January 2024. Propensity score matching analysis was performed to minimize selection bias and compare surgical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>After matching, 39 patients were included in each group. The ALI group showed significantly faster postoperative recovery, with a shorter hospital stay (4.0 [3.0\u20135.0] days vs. 5.0 [4.0\u20137.0] days, p\u2009=\u20090.001) and quicker time to first flatus (2.0 [2.0\u20133.0] days vs. 3.0 [2.0\u20133.0] days, p\u2009=\u20090.004). Although the ALI group had a shorter operative time and lower estimated blood loss, these differences were not statistically significant (p\u2009=\u20090.202 and p\u2009=\u20090.634, respectively). Complication rates, including major complications, were similar between the two groups. Long-term oncologic outcomes, including overall survival and recurrence-free survival, did not differ significantly between the groups (p\u2009=\u20090.622 and p\u2009=\u20090.756, respectively).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The use of ALIs in laparoscopic gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy was associated with improved short-term perioperative outcomes without compromising long-term oncologic safety.
