Keyhole surgery trial aims for faster stomach cancer recovery
NCT ID NCT02248519
Summary
This study compared two ways to perform surgery for removable stomach cancer: traditional open surgery and newer laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. It involved 210 patients in Western countries to see if the keyhole method leads to a shorter hospital stay and fewer complications after the operation. Researchers also looked at whether both methods were equally effective at treating the cancer and which was more cost-effective over five years.
