Randomized Controlled Trials Comparing Clinical Outcomes of 3D Versus 2D Laparoscopic Surgery for Gastric Cancer

April 5, 2023 updated by: Chang-Ming Huang, Prof., Fujian Medical University
The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of 3D Laparoscopic Surgery for Gastric Cancer. The patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (cT1-4aN0-3M0) were studied.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A prospective randomized comparison of 3D and 2D laparoscopic surgery for gastric cancer will be performed, to evaluate the clinical value and provide theoretical basis and clinical experience for the extensive application of the 3D laparoscopic technique. The evaluation parameters are perioperative clinical efficacy, postoperative life quality, immune function and 3-year/5-year survival and recurrence rates.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: 3D Laparoscopic Surgery
3D Laparoscopic Surgery will be performed for the treatment of patients assigned to this group.
After exclusion of T4b, bulky lymph nodes, or distant metastasis case by diagnostic laparoscopy, 3D laparoscopic gastrectomy will be performed with curative treated intent. The type of reconstruction will be selected according to the surgeon's experience.
Active Comparator: 2D Laparoscopic Surgery
2D Laparoscopic Surgery will be performed for the treatment of patients assigned to this group.
After exclusion of T4b, bulky lymph nodes, or distant metastasis case by diagnostic laparoscopy, 2D laparoscopic gastrectomy will be performed with curative treated intent. The type of reconstruction will be selected according to the surgeon's experience.

Overall survival was defined as the time from surgery to death from any cause
36 months
Inflammatory and immune response
Time Frame: 7 days
The daily highest body temperature before discharge and the values of white blood cell count, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, prealbumin and relevant immune cytokines including T cell percentage, T-helper lymphocytes (CD4+) percentage, T-suppressor lymphocytes (CD8+) percentage, natural killer (NK) cells percentage from peripheral blood before operation and on postoperative day 1, 3, 5 are recorded.
7 days
Morbidity and mortality
Time Frame: 30 days;36 months
The early postoperative complication and mortality are defined as the event observed within 30 days after surgery, while the time frame for late complication is the period from postoperative day 31th to the end of month 36th.
30 days;36 months
Hospitalization expenses
Time Frame: 1 months
The cost from admission to discharge
1 months
Intraoperative situation
Time Frame: 1 day
