“…Ultimately, three studies (3,9,11) reported the 3-year RFS rates, and the meta-analysis of pooled analysis showed no significant difference in the 3-year RFS rate between OPG and GCO groups (OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 0.86 to 2.27, p = 0.18) (Figure 5C). Four studies (3,5,8,10) reported the 5-year RFS rates, and the meta-analysis of pooled analysis showed that the 5-year RFS rates of the two groups were similar (OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 0.95 to 1.55, p = 0.12) (Figure 5D).…”

“…In recent years, some retrospective studies reported omentum-preserving gastrectomy (OPG), in which the greater omentum is dissected 3 cm far from the gastroepiploic arcade, whereas the greater omentum on the side of the transverse colon is preserved. These studies pointed out that GCO increases operative time, intraoperative blood loss, or postoperative complications but provides no oncological advantage over OPG for patients with GC (3)(4)(5). Therefore, further research is needed to assess the efficacy of OPG in GC surgery, but no largescale randomized controlled trial is available to date.…”

BackgroundComplete omentectomy is considered to be essential in the radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer (GC), but its clinical benefit remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of omentum-preserving gastrectomy (OPG) for patients with GC.MethodsStudies comparing the surgical and oncological outcomes of OPG and gastrectomy with complete omentectomy (GCO) for GC up to March 2021 were systematically searched from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library. A pooled analysis was performed for the available data regarding the baseline features, surgical and oncological outcomes. The RevMan 5.3 software was used to perform the statistical analysis. Quality evaluation and publication bias were also conducted.ResultsNine studies with a total of 3335 patients (1372 in the OPG group and 1963 in the GCO group) undergoing gastrectomy were included. In the pooled analysis, the baseline data in two groups were all comparable (p > 0.05). However, the OPG group was associated with shorter operative time (MD = −18.67, 95% CI = −31.42 to −5.91, P = 0.004) and less intraoperative blood loss (MD = −38.09, 95% CI = −53.78 to −22.41, P < 0.00001) than the GCO group. However, the number of dissected lymph nodes (MD = 2.16, 95% CI = −0.61 to 4.93, P = 0.13), postoperative complications (OR = 0.92, 95% CI = 0.74 to 1.15, p = 0.47), overall recurrence rate (OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.66 to 1.06, p = 0.14), peritoneal recurrence rate (OR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.65 to 1.29, p = 0.60), 3-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rate (OR = 1.40, 95% CI = 0.86 to 2.27, p = 0.18), and 5-year RFS rate (OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 0.95 to 1.55, p = 0.12) of the two groups were comparable.ConclusionsOPG might be an oncologically safe procedure with better surgical outcomes for patients with GC than GCO. However, high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm this benefit.

Background Since 1910, omentectomy has been an essential component of radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer. However, researchers have recently questioned the benefit of omentectomy in radical gastrectomy. The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare omentectomy and omentum preservation in gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer in terms of survival outcomes and short-term outcomes. Methods The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched. Studies that compared omentum preservation with omentectomy were included. Overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) were analyzed as primary outcomes. Results Of 3509 records screened, one randomized clinical trial and five propensity-score matched retrospective studies with 1661 patients were selected. Omentum preservation was associated with improved OS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.757, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.603-0.950, P = 0.016, I 2 = 0%), but not with improved RFS (HR = 0.821, 95% CI = 0.668-1.009, P = 0.060, I 2 = 9%) compared with omentectomy for advanced gastric cancer. Furthermore, less blood loss and shorter operation time were found in the omentum preservation group than in the omentectomy group. Additionally, the rate of peritoneal recurrence, the number of harvested lymph nodes, and the incidences of postoperative complications and ileus were comparable in the two groups. Conclusions Basing on the current literature, gastrectomy with omentum preservation was associated with improved OS and short-term outcomes compared with omentectomy for advanced gastric cancer. Further randomized trials are required to confirm the survival benefit of omentum-preserving gastrectomy.
