Abstract:
Minimally invasive surgical techniques, represented by laparoscopic techniques, are currently an important tool in the surgical treatment of gastric cancer. With the development of more and more high-quality clinical research and the publication of results in recent years, the indications for laparoscopic techniques in the surgical treatment of gastric cancer have received more evidence-based medical support and have been actively explored in many aspects, such as patients receiving neoadjuvant treatment and patients with advanced gastric cancer receiving trans-lational treatment. In addition, laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery has made great progress in lymph node dissection and surgical resection scale, total laparoscopic surgery, pylorus-preserving gastrec⁃tomy, gastrointestinal reconstruction after proximal gastrectomy, and lymph node tracing. Based on the
Guideline for Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer (
2016 Edition), and combined with recent research hotspots and high-grade evidence-based medical results, the
Guideline for Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer (
2023 Edition) is revised and updated based on clinical evidence and oriented to clinical problems.
