Figure 1 Overall survival rates reported in the individual studies. ^aP value of difference between the laparoscopic and converted group is < 0.05; ^b3-yr overall survival rates, the other studies reported 5-yr overall survival rates.

Figure 2 Disease-free survival rates reported in the individual studies. ^aP value of difference between the laparoscopic and converted group is < 0.05; ^b3-yr and ^c2-yr disease-free survival rates, the other studies reported 5-yr disease-free survival rates.
