New Device Cuts Inflammation and Operation Time in Gastrectomy

The synchroseal device outperformed conventional ultrasonic shears in robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer, significantly reducing postoperative C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and serum amylase, alongside shorter operation times. In a study of 25 patients using synchroseal, these markers indicated reduced inflammation. While fewer lymph nodes (LNs) were retrieved, both methods achieved adequate dissection. The findings suggest synchroseal may enhance patient recovery through improved inflammation control and efficiency.
