PPG patients had fewer subjective postprandial symptoms than BI patients. The present study also suggests that PPG has advantages over BI in terms of the avoidance of bile reflux and gallbladder stones.

This study showed that pure SDG is both safe and feasible for early gastric cancer, with similar operation time and better short-term outcomes than TLDG in terms of postoperative pain, estimated blood loss, inflammatory reaction, and cosmetic result.

MIS can be applied to submucosal gastric cancer that is less than 2 cm in size and 500 microm in depth.

ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02490111.

The use of single-port laparoscopic surgery for treating various diseases has increased rapidly. This approach can offer better cosmetic results and less incisional pain. We report the cases of single-port laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D1+β lymph node dissection for 2 patients with gastric cancers.

The government has implemented a regional trauma center project since 2012 with the goal of reducing the preventable trauma death rate in Korea to the level of developed countries. Regional trauma centers should organically cooperate with the government and the Korean Surgical Society to ensure that seriously injured patients are treated at regional level 1 trauma centers and to lead quantitative and qualitative growth with the aim of ensuring leadership within the regional trauma system. We exp

This animal study shows that SIDG can be applicable for treating gastric cancer with similar inflammatory reaction and complication rates when compared with LDG. Comparative human study is necessary to demonstrate the benefits of SIDG compared with standard laparoscopic surgery.
