ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
It remains unclear whether laparoscopic conversation to open gastrectomy causes higher morbidity and has an adverse effect on the long-term survival outcomes of patients with gastric cancer. This study was designed to evaluate the impact of the conversion on short and long-term outcomes of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (AGC).METHODS:
We retrospectively investigated 871 patients who initially underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for pathologically confirmed diagnosis of AGC between February 2009 and April 2018. The patients were grouped as the conversion (CONV) group and completed laparoscopic (LAP) group. The 12 propensity score matching was performed to reduce the effect of bias due to the imbalanced baseline features between the two groups. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify risk factors for conversion and poor survival.RESULTS:
After propensity-score matching, 168 patients (56 in the CONV group and 112 in the LAP group) were studied. The CONV group was associated with significantly longer operation time (252.4 vs. 216.7 min, P < 0.001) and greater estimated blood loss (234.8 vs. 171.2 ml, P < 0.001) as compared with the LAP group. The time to first flatus (3.8 vs. 3.3 days, P = 0.043), time to start a liquid diet (4.1 vs. 3.5 days, P = 0.021), and postoperative hospital stay (8.7 vs. 7.6 days, P = 0.020) were significantly longer in the CONV group than that in the LAP group. The overall complication rate did not differ significantly between the CONV group and the LAP group (16.1% vs. 12.5%, P = 0.692). Both 5-year overall survival (OS) and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) did not differ significantly between the CONV group and the LAP group (P = 0.805, P = 0.945, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that lymphovascular invasion and stage III were independent prognostic factors for poor OS and DFS, whereas conversion was not.CONCLUSIONS:
The conversion from laparoscopic to open gastrectomy had no negative impact on morbidity and long-term survival outcomes for patients with locally AGC.Palabras clave
