Agenda
• Laparoscopic staging of gastric adenocarcinoma
• Extent of lymphadenectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma

Outcomes: M1 Gastric Adenocarcinoma, No Gastrectomy
Gastric AdenocarcinomaExtent of Lymphadenectomy
• D1 – limited or perigastric lymphadenectomy
• D2 – extended lymphadenectomy
Operation for Gastric Carcinoma
Lymphadenectomy: D1 or D2?Randomized Clinical Trials
• Significantly higher morbidity and mortality for D2
• No difference in long-term survival

Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Carcinoma
RCT: Laparoscopic vs. Open Subtotal Gastrectomy for
Adenocarcinoma• 59 patients
• Single centre
• Laparoscopic arm: significant benefit for pain, recovery, blood loss, hospital stay
• Similar lymph node retrieval
• No difference in survival

Oesophagectomy: Peri-Operative Outcomes
Minimally Invasive Oesophagectomy
1. Totally laparoscopic trans-hiatal resection with cervical anastomosis.
2. Laparoscopic trans-hiatal dissection with mini-laparotomy with cervical anastomosis.
3. Right thoracotomy, laparoscopic gastric tubularization and cervical anastomosis.
4. Combined laparoscopic and thoracoscopic dissection.
5. Thoracoscopic excision of oesophageal leiomyomas and GISTs.

PT1 Oesophageal Adenocarcinoma
• Similar lymph node retrieval with laparoscopic trans-hiatal esophagectomy or open esophagectomy
• Small but definite risk (7%) of recurrent disease after esophagectomy for T1 adenocarcinoma
• No evidence of oncological detriment by laparoscopic resection
PT1 Oesophageal Adenocarcinoma
• 66% of early esophageal adenocarcinoma
may have been inadequately treated by
EMR
• EMR should be reserved for highly
selected patients
