LG offers a safe surgical approach to gastric cancer with shorter hospital stay and lower re-admission rates than OG, and also similar and sometimes improved operative oncologic quality parameters (margin, lymph node yield). More importantly, this Western series demonstrates that equivalent long-term outcomes of LG vs. OG are being achieved.
