Laparoscopic total gastrectomy with new surgical tools
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new set of surgical tools can help remove the entire stomach using small incisions (laparoscopy). It is for people with stomach cancer that hasn't spread widely and who are healthy enough for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This phase 3 trial compares robot-assisted surgery to standard laparoscopic surgery for treating stomach cancer that has grown through the stomach wall (cT4a) but not spread to distant organs. The goal is to see which approach may offer better outcomes.
This trial tests whether a minimally invasive camera-guided surgical procedure (laparoscopy) can better detect hidden cancer spread in patients with advanced stomach cancer. The goal is to help doctors plan the best treatment and improve outcomes.
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive (laparoscopic) removal of the entire stomach, along with lymph node removal, can be done safely and effectively for certain stomach cancers. It may be an option if your cancer is in the stomach, has limited spread to nearby lymph nodes, and can be fully removed.
This trial compares two ways surgeons remove the entire stomach (total gastrectomy): laparoscopic (small keyhole cuts) versus open surgery (one larger cut). It’s testing which approach is safer and works better for people with certain stages of stomach cancer.
This trial compares two types of surgery for stomach cancer that has grown into deeper layers but has not spread to distant organs. The goal is to see if a keyhole (laparoscopic) approach is as safe and effective as traditional open surgery.
This trial looks at laparoscopic (keyhole) total stomach removal for people with advanced stomach cancer in the upper or middle part of the stomach. It aims to see whether this operation approach is safe and useful based on your tumor stage and overall health.
