Description
Reduced port laparoscopic gastrectomy has been adopted in clinical. The safety and outcome of reduced port laparoscopic gastrectomy has not been systematically evaluated. The investigators designed a comparative study, which sought to compare the short and long-term outcome of patients with gastric cancer who underwent reduced port gastrectomy with patients underwent traditional laparoscopic gastrectomy. The short-term outcome include surgical complications, postoperative morbidity, postoperative nutrition. The long-term outcome mainly include long-term survival.
