Short-term outcomes of laparoscopic D2 lymphadenectomy versus D2 lymphadenectomy plus complete mesogastric excision in distal gastric cancer patients with high body mass index.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The technical challenges and safety issues involving laparoscopic D2 lymphadenectomy plus complete mesogastric excision (D2 + CME) for high body mass index (BMI) patients are still unknown. This study was conducted to compare the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic D2 + CME and D2 lymphadenectomy in distal gastric cancer patients of different BMI status.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients with gastric cancer who underwent laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG) at our center between 2019 June and 2023 September. Patients who underwent traditional laparoscopic D2 lymphadenectomy were divided into the D2 group, while patients undergoing laparoscopic D2 + CME were divided into the D2 + CME group. In each group, patients were further subd
