## Abstract ## Background To assess the value of laparoscopyโassisted distal gastrectomy with D2 dissection for treatment of gastric cancer. ## Methods We collected studies that have compared laparoscopyโassisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) and open distal gastrectomy (ODG) with D2 dissection for
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Laparoscopyโassisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) has been established as an alternative treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC) because of excellent shortโterm results. However, only a few reports have considered the longโterm outcomes of LADG. In this study
