Open gastrectomy
A single incision is made in the middle of the upper abdomen and part or all of the stomach is removed directly, with lymph node dissection. Still the main choice when the tumor is large, invades nearby organs or the situation is complex.
| Advantages | Limitations |
|---|---|
| Widest range of cases; Can also deal with complex and advanced cases | Large incision; recovery is slower than with minimally invasive surgery; More complications during follow-up after surgery (such as bowel obstruction) than with laparoscopy (KLASS-02: 9.5% vs 4.7%) |
