Patient survival after D-1 and D-2 resections for gastric cancer: long-term results of the MRC randomized surgical trial
Alfred Cuschieri,S Weeden,J Fielding,J Bancewicz,J Craven,V Joypaul,Matthew R. Sydes,Peter Fayers +7 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the classical Japanese D2 resection offers no survival advantage over D1 surgery, however, the possibility that D 2 resection without pancreatico-splenectomy may be better than standard D1 resection cannot be dismissed by the results of this trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postoperative morbidity and mortality after D1 and D2 resections for gastric cancer: preliminary results of the MRC randomised controlled surgical trial
TL;DR: In this article, a randomized controlled trial was conducted to investigate whether D2 gastric resection confers a survival advantage over D1 resection, and the results showed that the D2 group had higher post-operative hospital mortality (13% vs 6·5%; p=0·04 [95% Cl 9-18% for D2, 4-11 % for D1] and higher overall postoperative morbidity (46% vs 28%).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is recommended to use the lowest intraabdominal pressure allowing adequate exposure of the operative field, rather than using a routine pressure, and abdominal wall lifting combined with low-pressure pneumoperitoneum might be an alternative.
