A total of 994 out of 1540 patients (64.5%) achieved textbook outcomes (TO) in laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG). Factors independently associated with reduced TO likelihood included older age, higher BMI, higher ASA score, conversion to open surgery, longer operation time, and greater estimated blood loss. Achieving TO in LG was linked to improved 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival. Implementing the TO concept in LG can enhance surgical care quality and lead to better prognoses for gastric cancer patients.
