Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to to investigate the feasibility and safety of fast-track surgery when combined with laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Methods: We designed a prospective randomized, controlled clinical trial then recruited 61 consecutive advanced gastric cancer patients. (Trial registration number: JLUFHC1722013) Further divide into a fast-track surgery group (n=30) and a conventional surgery group (n=31). Surgical technique in both groups is same laparoscopic-assisted gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. Compare outcomes includes length of hospital stay, return to normal diet and postoperative complications.Results: Recovery parameters such as the length of time to return to normal diet; to the first defection; start of ambulation time ;the mean hospital stay will be all less in patients assigned to the fast track surgery protocol compared with those in the conventional care programme. Conclusion: We will consider fast-track rehabilitation to be safe and feasible in advanced gastric cancer patients. Moreover, it will result in decreased hospital stay.

fast-track surgery

The included patients will be randomly divided to two groups :30 that will undergo LAG with FTS rehabilitation programme and 31 that also will undergo LAG but receive conventional postoperative care.Laparoscopy-assisted gastrectomy will be carried out in this approach.There will be no difference in the surgical procedures of both groups.The criteria for discharge are: tolerance of solid diet, return of bowel habits and ability to walk on their own.
