The safe performance of robotic gastrectomy by second-generation surgeons meeting the operating surgeon's criteria in the Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery guidelines

Susumu Shibasaki et al.

Summary: The study examined the short-term outcomes of robotic gastrectomy (RG) performed by non-expert surgeons trained within the institute, following the guidelines from the Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery. It was found that the surgeons were able to safely perform RG, with decreasing operative and console times observed in later cases.

Safe implementation of robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer under the requirements for universal health insurance coverage: a retrospective cohort study using a nationwide registry database in Japan

Koichi Suda et al.

Summary: The study findings suggest that insurance-covered robotic gastrectomy has been safely implemented nationwide in Japan. Patients undergoing robotic gastrectomy did not have higher morbidity rates compared to laparoscopic gastrectomy, but had a higher reoperation rate and shorter postoperative hospitalization duration.

Clinical efficacy and safety of robotic distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Shiyi Gong et al.

Summary: This meta-analysis evaluated the safety and efficacy of robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG). The analysis included 22 studies with 5386 patients. The results showed that compared to laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG), RDG had longer operating time, less intraoperative blood loss, more retrieved lymph nodes, shorter time to first flatus, shorter postoperative hospital stay, and lower incidence of pancreatic fistula. However, there were no significant differences in other parameters between RDG and LDG groups. Propensity-score-matched analysis showed that the differences in time to first flatus and postoperative hospital stay between the two groups lost significance.

Assessment of Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer A Randomized Controlled Trial

Jun Lu et al.

Summary: Evaluation of short-term outcomes for patients with GC who underwent RDG or LDG showed that RDG had lower postoperative morbidity, faster recovery, milder inflammatory responses, and improved lymphadenectomy compared to LDG. Additionally, patients in the RDG group were more likely to initiate adjuvant chemotherapy earlier, despite higher total hospital costs.

Impact of the Endoscopic Surgical Skill Qualification System on the safety of laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer

Susumu Shibasaki et al.

Summary: The study found that there were no significant differences in postoperative morbidity rate and length of hospitalization between patients operated by ESSQS-qualified surgeons and non-qualified surgeons, as long as ESSQS-qualified surgeons provided intraoperative instructions. However, surgeries performed by non-ESSQS-qualified surgeons had significantly longer operative times and higher estimated blood loss.

Global cancer statistics 2020: GLOBOCAN estimates of incidence and mortality worldwide for 36 cancers in 185 countries

Hyuna Sung et al.

Summary: The global cancer burden in 2020 saw an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases and almost 10.0 million cancer deaths. Female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer, while lung cancer remained the leading cause of cancer death. These trends are expected to rise in 2040, with transitioning countries experiencing a larger increase compared to transitioned countries due to demographic changes and risk factors associated with globalization and a growing economy. Efforts to improve cancer prevention measures and provision of cancer care in transitioning countries will be crucial for global cancer control.
