Objective: To determine the oncologic benefits of laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Background: Laparoscopy and MIS have been used increasingly in general surgery including surgical oncology. Early animal studies comparing the effect of laparoscopy and pneumoperitoneum on cancer development and progression suggested an oncological advantage with laparoscopy. Methods: We conducted a review of the literature to examine the evidence and to establish the presence or absence of oncologic benefits in patients with cancer who underwent laparoscopic resections when compared to those who had open resections. Conclusions: Laparoscopic surgery has well established short-term benefits in surgical patients, and in surgical oncology, the use of laparoscopy achieves equivalent technical aims such as margin adequacy and number of lymph nodes harvested, which are indirectly associated with oncologic outcomes. Survival and recurrence outcomes do not appear to be improved with laparoscopy, with the exception of a possible trend towards improved overall survival with laparoscopic liver resections. Unique benefits of laparoscopy in oncology include earlier access to adjuvant chemotherapy, less morbid multivisceral resections, staging, and more feasible metastasectomy (Better visualization of areas of disease, and the ability to access and resect lesions in multiple locations with minimal invasiveness and tissue trauma). Definitive conclusions about the oncologic benefits of MIS will require more highly powered studies with adequate follow-up.

Objective: This review was conducted to assess the results of minimally invasive surgery for advanced gastric cancer after preoperative chemotherapy. Background: Localized gastric cancer is treated mainly via surgery. Among recent advances in surgical treatments, minimally invasive gastrectomies have become standard treatment for early gastric cancer and are becoming a safe option for advanced gastric cancers. However, most studies on laparoscopic gastrectomies for locally advanced gastric cancer have been performed in patients undergoing primary surgery. In Western countries, most patients with locally advanced gastric cancer undergo preoperative chemotherapy. However, concerns remain regarding the indications for minimally invasive gastrectomies in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer, treated with preoperative chemotherapy. Methods: We conducted a systematic search of the electronic medical databases to identify all relevant publications on minimally invasive gastrectomy. Eight papers were analyzed. Conclusions: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy does not adversely influence the results of a minimally invasive gastrectomy, and minimally invasive surgery, even after neoadjuvant chemotherapy, may facilitate postoperative chemotherapy in terms of timing and number of completed chemotherapeutic cycles.

Advances in gastric cancer surgery comprise the use of minimally invasive surgery such as laparoscopic or robotic techniques. Besides the technical progress, little changes have been established in the last decades regarding the lymphadenectomy, luminal resection type and reconstruction. Lately, proximal gastrectomy and reconstruction with double tract method became more popular and might lead to new possibilities of tailored luminal resections in gastric cancer and cancer of the esophagogastric junction. This procedure is established in east Asia, but of high interest for western countries, as the incidence of proximal gastric cancer and junctional cancer is rising. So far, limited evidence is disposable regarding the double tract method and the indication is seen for rather early cancer. Focus should be put on rapid evaluation on oncological safety and functional benefits in order to evaluate this surgical alternative to total gastrectomy, which is also feasible in laparoscopic or robotic-assisted procedures. This review aims to provide a current status of the proximal gastrectomy and double tract reconstruction, information on how it is done, and which patients could qualify for this surgery. Western surgeons should scientifically cooperate when performing this procedure in order to effectively evaluate whether the distal stomach preservation comes along with benefits
