Single-Port vs Standard Laparoscopic Surgery for Stomach Cancer
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgical approaches for early-stage stomach cancer affecting the upper portion. Researchers want to see if a newer single-port technique (using one small incision) works as well as traditional laparoscopic surgery (using multiple small incisions) and may cause less pain or faster recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–75 years old
- Early-stage stomach cancer in the upper portion or where stomach meets esophagus (food pipe), confirmed by biopsy
- Cancer has not spread to distant organs like liver, lungs, or abdominal lining
- Able to undergo surgery to remove the upper part of the stomach with complete tumor removal
- Good overall health and able to tolerate surgery and anesthesia
- Willing to attend follow-up appointments for 12 months after surgery

This study compares two robotic surgery methods for removing the lower part of the stomach in people with early-stage stomach cancer. The goal is to see if the single-port approach is as safe and effective as the multi-port approach, potentially leading to less pain and faster recovery.
This trial compares two types of surgery for early stomach cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It aims to see if one surgery helps patients recover better while still removing the cancer completely.
This study checks whether a specific robotic operation (proximal gastrectomy using a double-flap technique) is safe and feasible for early stomach cancer located near the top of the stomach. It may help patients by testing a surgical approach designed to remove the cancer while managing reconstruction and recovery.
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery for early-stage cancer in the upper part of the stomach. It aims to see if one surgery is better at preserving quality of life while being as safe and effective as the other.
This trial is testing a newer, less invasive robotic surgery technique that uses just one small incision to remove stomach cancer. It may offer faster recovery and less pain compared to traditional surgery.
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery to remove part of the stomach in people with early-stage stomach cancer. One uses a robotic system with small cuts, and the other uses traditional keyhole surgery, to see which leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
