What are the indications for laparoscopic gastric cancer surgery? Find out

When gastric cancer occurs, laparoscopic surgery is generally recommended for patients whose tumors have not penetrated the stomach wall, whose lymph nodes have not metastasized, and whose BMI is relatively low. For large medical centers with rich experience, the indications are basically similar to those of traditional open surgery. Not only can laparoscopic radical gastric cancer surgery be routinely performed, but laparoscopic gastric cancer combined with organ resection is also very well mastered.

When the stomach develops lesions, it is basically too late to detect it, and it is already in the advanced stage of gastric cancer.
