Robotic Surgery for Limited Peritoneal Metastatic Gastric Cancer Yields Positive Outcomes

Robotic cytoreduction and HIPEC can improve recovery in gastric cancer patients with limited peritoneal metastasis.

• 100% complete cytoreduction rate achieved with robotic technique.
• Median hospital stay was just 5 days, a notable reduction from traditional methods.

Favorable outcomes include less blood loss (median 300 ml) and lower transfusion rates (22.2%).

• Major morbidity was 38.9% and readmission rate was 27.8%, consistent with literature on open surgery.
