Abstract
- Minimal invasive surgery (MIS) became popular after the success of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Since then, the role of laparoscopy has expanded widely to accommodate different type of surgical procedures, both benign and malignant. Laparoscopy surgery has many benefits, including less postoperative pain, less hospital stay, faster recovery of bowel motility, and better cosmetic result. For gastric surgery include pepticulcer, benign tumors, early gastric cancer and advanced gastric cancer, laparoscopic surgery was not exceptional. In aspect of technique, almost open procedures are reproduced aparoscopically. However, in aspect of evidence based medicine, we have to wait some evidence. The purpose of this article is to review the recent current status with literature review and propose the future of laparoscopic gastric surgery.
