Abstract:were observed (p=0.09). Harvested lymph nodes were 16 and 17 for LPD and OPD (p=0.67). Length of stay was 14 and 16 days for LPD and OPD groups (p=0.25). Conclusion: Preliminary results show that LPD is safe and feasible, although high conversion rate when done in nonselected patients. No differences in clinical outcomes were observed between approaches.
