Surgical and survival outcomes after laparoscopic and open gastrectomy for serosa-invasive Siewert type II/III esophagogastric junction carcinoma: a propensity score matching analysis.

Laparoscopic gastrectomy is associated with better short-term outcomes and similar long-term outcomes for pT4a Siewert type II/III AEG. This study reveals that LG could be a safe and feasible option for pT4a Siewert type II/III AEG compared to OG.
