Short-term outcomes of a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy to open distal gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer (KLASS-02-RCT). Ann Surg 20129; 270: 983-991

Conclusion

Early morbidity was significantly reduced in this study that included 1050 procedures: 16.6 versus 24.1 per cent, P=0.003. Postoperative pain scores were also reduced, and hospital stay shorter: 8.1 vs 9.3 days, P=0.005. Ninety day mortality was similar in both groups.
