Abstract

The surgical management of gastric cancer has changed significantly from the first open partial gastrectomy in 1881 to contemporary minimally invasive approaches. The approach has shifted from open surgeries to laparoscopic and robotic-assisted gastrectomies, with evidence of reduced pain, quicker recovery, and lower morbidity with these methods. Multiple randomized trials have confirmed that laparoscopic surgeries yield oncologically safe results. Moreover, robotic surgeries, while more expensive, provide similar outcomes with some procedural benefits. Herein, we discuss surgical techniques, preoperative planning, and postprocedure care, emphasizing the role of careful clinical assessment and tailored surgical approaches based on tumor location and patient condition.
