Robotic Surgery Shows Superiority Over Laparoscopic Surgery in Gastric Cancer Treatment

Robotic gastrectomy (RG) demonstrated higher overall survival, lower postoperative complications, faster recovery, and other advantages compared to laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) in gastric cancer patients. While mortality and disease-free survival were similar between the two techniques, RG offered better outcomes in specific scenarios like intracorporeal reconstruction and certain stages of cancer. These findings support the use of robotic surgery in clinical practice for treating gastric cancer.
