Study summary

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of 3D Laparoscopic Surgery for Gastric Cancer. The patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (cT1-4aN0-3M0) were studied.

Read the detailed description

A prospective randomized comparison of 3D and 2D laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer will be performed, to evaluate the clinical value and provide theoretical basis and clinical experience for the extensive application of the 3D laparoscopic technique. The evaluation parameters are perioperative clinical efficacy, postoperative life quality, immune function and 3-year/5-year survival and recurrence rates.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    3D Laparoscopic Surgery

    3D Laparoscopic Surgery will be performed for the treatment of patients assigned to this group.

    Procedure: 3D Laparoscopic Surgery

  • Active comparator
    2D Laparoscopic Surgery

    2D Laparoscopic Surgery will be performed for the treatment of patients assigned to this group.

    Procedure: 2D Laparoscopic Surgery

Interventions

  • Procedure3D Laparoscopic Surgery

    After exclusion of T4b, bulky lymph nodes, or distant metastasis case by diagnostic laparoscopy, 3D laparoscopic gastrectomy will be performed with curative treated intent. The type of reconstruction will be selected according to the surgeon's experience.

  • Procedure2D Laparoscopic Surgery

    After exclusion of T4b, bulky lymph nodes, or distant metastasis case by diagnostic laparoscopy, 2D laparoscopic gastrectomy will be performed with curative treated intent. The type of reconstruction will be selected according to the surgeon's experience.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Operating time

    Operating time

    Time frame: 1 day

Secondary outcomes

  1. Intraoperative situation

    The number of lymph node dissection, the number of positive lymph nodes, intraoperative lymph node dissection time(regional analysis: infrapyloric area lymph node, suprapancreatic area lymph node, splenic hilar area lymph node, cardial area lymph node), intracavitary anastomosis time(patients who undergo totally laparoscopic surgery are analyzed), intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative injury, the amount of use of titanium clip, the rate of conversion to laparotomy

    Time frame: 1 day

  2. Postoperative recovery course

    Time to first ambulation, flatus, liquid diet and soft diet, duration of postoperative hospital stay and postoperative pain are used to assess the postoperative recovery course.Visual analog pain score method is used to evaluate the difference of postoperative pain degree.

    Time frame: 10 days

  3. Complication

    Early complications occurred within 30 days after operation: pulmonary infection, incision complication, intestinal obstruction, abdominal infection, anastomotic bleeding, anastomotic fistula, gastric emptying; Long-term complications (30 days later after operation): anastomotic stenosis, intestinal obstruction, dumping syndrome

    Time frame: 30 days;36 months

  4. The postoperative pathology

    The postoperative pathological type and pTNM stage.

    Time frame: 7 days

  5. Inflammatory and immune response

    The daily highest body temperature before discharge and the values of white blood cell count, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, prealbumin and relevant immune cytokines including T cell percentage, T-helper lymphocytes (CD4+) percentage, T-suppressor lymphocytes (CD8+) percentage, natural killer (NK) cells percentage from peripheral blood before operation and on postoperative day 1, 3, 5 are recorded.

    Time frame: 7 days

  6. Morbidity and mortality

    The early postoperative complication and mortality are defined as the event observed within 30 days after surgery, while the time frame for late complication is the period from postoperative day 31th to the end of month 36th.

    Time frame: 30 days;36 months

  7. Hospitalization expenses

    The cost from admission to discharge

    Time frame: 1 months

  8. 3-year disease free survival rate

    Disease-free survival was defined as the time from surgery to the time of recurrence or death from any cause

    Time frame: 36 months

  9. 3-year overall survival rate

    Overall survival was defined as the time from surgery to death from any cause

    Time frame: 36 months

  10. 5-year disease free survival rate

    Disease-free survival was defined as the time from surgery to the time of recurrence or death from any cause

    Time frame: 60 months

  11. 5-year overall survival rate

    Overall survival was defined as the time from surgery to death from any cause

    Time frame: 60 months

  12. Recurrence patterns

    Recurrence patterns are classified into five categories at the time of first diagnosis: locoregional, hematogenous, peritoneal, distant lymph node, and mixed type.

    Time frame: 60 months
