Abstract:BackgroundRobot‐assisted gastrectomy (RG) has been shown to be safe and feasible in the treatment of gastric cancer (GC). However, it is unclear whether RG is equivalent to laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG), especially in the Western world.

Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was cond… Show more
