AB73. The robot-assisted gastrectomy for gastric cancer—new horizon on minimally invasive surgery

Abstract: Laparoscopic-assisted surgery has a revolutionary meaning to the traditional laparotomy surgery when it came out. For a while, laparoscopic-assisted was the presentative of minimally invasive surgery. After two decades’ prosperity and development, LAG has to be the routine alternative. However, in the much more advanced progress, the inherent shortcomings appear. Robotic-assisted surgical system is thought to overcome the shortcomings of Laparoscopic-assisted surgery. 3-D images, endo-wrist and tremor filter have the potential to fill the gap between Laparoscopic-assisted surgery and laparotomy surgery. Up to now, Da Vinci has put into use in several departments. While in the field of gastric cancer, there are fewer studies. This review aims to collect and analyze the application of Da Vinci in gastric cancer in domestic and overseas.
