Totally laparoscopic versus laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy: the KLASS-07: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract

The KLASS-07 trial confirmed that TLDG is not different from LADG in terms of postoperative complications but has the advantages to reduce ileus and pulmonary complications. TLDG can be a good option to offer better QoL in terms of pain, body image, emotion, and anxiety at 3-6 months.
