PG - 1473-5 AB - In recent years there has been an increase in the number of laparoscopic surgeries for gastric cancer, with over 8,000 cases reported nationwide in 2012. To date, we have performed 420 total laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) procedures. In all cases, the mean operative time was 304 minutes, intraoperative bleeding was at 52 g, 30 lymph nodes were dissected, and the length of postoperative hospital stay was 10.6 days, on average. We experienced 5 intraoperative complications and 13 postoperative complications. Of 4 patients, there were 2 cases of postoperative recurrence in liver metastases, 1 case of metastatic lung tumor, and 1 case of peritoneal metastasis. Based on surgical outcomes, TLDG is a safe and feasible procedure for gastric cancer. FAU - Tanaka, Hideyuki AU - Tanaka H AD - Dept. of Surgery, Saiseikai Kumamoto Hospital.
