PG - 1132-1139 LID - 10.1007/s11605-021-05208-6 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: In complete laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, the gastric resection line is difficult to determine due to a lack of tactile sensation. The use of intraoperative gastroscopy and intraoperative radiography has been reported, but the burden on personnel and technical complexity present impediments. In our department, based on lesion extent determined with preoperative gastroscopy, a fluorescent clip is used to mark the oral side of the lesion, which is resected after confirmation with a fluorescent laparoscopic system. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of fluorescent clip marking (FCM) in achieving an accurate resection line and reducing the operative time. METHODS: Fifty-six patients with gastric cancer who underwent complete laparoscopic distal gastrectomy from January 2018 to March 2021 were divided into two groups: the FCM group (n = 32) and the conventional metal clip marking and intraoperative gastroscopy (MCMG) group (n = 24). Short-term outcomes, including the resection margins, gastric resection time, and operative time, were compared and examined. RESULTS: The fluorescent clips were visible in all cases, and all stumps were negative according to permanent preparations. The operative times for FCM and MCMG were 350 (216-533) vs. 373.5 (258-651) min, respectively, with no significant difference (p = 0.316), while the gastric resection times were 636.5 (321-2572) vs. 1457.5 (843-4973) s, respectively, and were significantly shorter in the FCM group (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: FCM shortened the gastric resection time and could possibly shorten the operative time. FCM is feasible and safe and can potentially be used as a tumor-marking agent to determine accurate surgical resection lines.
