[Laparoscopic versus open gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer : Operative and postoperative results].

CONCLUSION: The present study showed that minimally invasive gastrectomy can be performed safely and with comparable histopathological results to open surgery, even in advanced gastric cancer in western populations; however, larger case series and evidence from high-quality studies are urgently needed especially to compare short-term and long-term survival.
