Core Tip

Core Tip: Our objective was to compare the surgical efficiency of laparoscopic-assisted transhiatal gastrectomy (LTG) with the open transhiatal gastrectomy in patients with Siewert type II adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction. We found that LTG was associated with better short-term outcomes and similar oncology safety. In addition, patients with advanced stage adenocarcinoma of the esophagogastric junction may benefit more from LTG in 3-year overall survival and disease-free survival.
