Laparoscopic gastrectomy has evolved differently in Eastern and Western countries. Feasibility, safety and oncological outcomes of laparoscopic gastrectomy were addressed step-by-step by several randomized controlled trials from the East. Few phase III studies were published from the West that largely did not show a difference between the laparoscopic and open approach. Despite this, laparoscopic gastrectomy is seen as the standard for the surgical treatment of early and advanced gastric cancer in many European countries. Here, we review and comment on some important studies on laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer from Eastern and Western countries and also comment on current and future challenges.
腹腔镜胃切除术在东西方国家的发展有所不同。来自东方的多项随机对照试验逐步探讨了腹腔镜胃切除术的可行性、安全性和肿瘤学结局。西方发表的III期研究较少，且大多未显示腹腔镜手术与开放手术之间存在差异。尽管如此，在许多欧洲国家，腹腔镜胃切除术被视为早期和进展期胃癌外科治疗的标准术式。在此，我们对东西方国家关于腹腔镜胃癌切除术的一些重要研究进行综述和评论，并对当前及未来面临的挑战发表看法。
