Influence of liver function after laparoscopy-assisted vs totally laparoscopic gastrectomy

Figure 1 Liver traction. A: Liver traction by a fine line; B: Abdominal incision in the totally laparoscopic gastrectomy group; C: Liver traction by an S-type retractor and Abdominal incision in another 7 cm longitudinal incision group.

Figure 2 Comparison of transaminase levels in each group. A: Changes in alanine aminotransferase in each group; B: Changes in aspartate aminotransferase in each group. ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; AST: Aspartate aminotransferase; BO: Before the operation; AO: After the operation.

Figure 3 Hierarchical comparison of transaminases in each group. A: Changes in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in total laparoscopic total gastrectomy (TLTG) group and laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) group; B: Changes in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in TLTG group and LATG group; C: Changes in ALT in total laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLGG) group and laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy (LAGG) group; D: Changes in AST in TLGG group and ALGG group. ALT: Alanine aminotransferase; AST: Aspartate aminotransferase; TLTG: Total laparoscopic total gastrectomy; LATG: Laparoscopic-assisted total gastrectomy; TLGG: Total laparoscopic distal gastrectomy; LAGG: Laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomy; BO: Before the operation; AO: After the operation.

Figure 4 Comparison of bilirubin in each group. A: Changes in total bilirubin in each group; B: Changes in direct bilirubin in each group; C: Changes in indirect bilirubin in each group. TBIL: Total bilirubin; DBIL: Direct bilirubin; IBIL: Indirect bilirubin; BO: Before the operation; AO: After the operation.

Figure 5 Comparison of other liver function indicators in each group. A: Changes in alkaline phosphatase in each group; B: Changes in γ-glutamyltransferase in each group. ALP: Alkaline phosphatase; GGLT: γ-glutamyltransferase; BO: Before the operation; AO: After the operation.
