In the realm of gastric cancer surgery, a study flexes the stats on surgical approaches. Analyzing 21,015 patients, the research spotlights robotic gastrectomy (RG) as the champ, significantly elevating the likelihood of achieving Textbook Oncologic Outcome (TOO). Minimally invasive gastrectomy (MIG) emerges as a key player, linked to better lymph node evaluation, shorter hospital stays, and a sweet bonus—improved overall survival. In this surgical showdown, RG steals the spotlight, promising superior outcomes in the fight against gastric cancer.
