Abstract:Background and ObjectivesRobotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) has been widely performed throughout Japan since it became insured in 2018. This study aimed to evaluate the short‐term outcomes of RDG and laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) for gastric cancer using real‐world data.MethodsA total of 4161 patients who underwent LDG (n = 3173) or RDG (n = 988) for gastric cancer between April 2018 and October 2022 were identified through the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination Database, which covers 42 national u… Show more
