Three-year Survival Outcomes of Patients With Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Versus Conventional Care in Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy: The GISSG1901 Randomized Clinical Trial

Ann SurgPublished Randomised controlled trial

Authors' conclusion

Patients undergoing ERAS LDG had fewer overall complications, shorter hospital stays, decreased medical expenses, and improved 3-year OS and DFS rates, particularly in cases with stage III gastric cancer.

  • 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS), stage III (subgroup): per-group value = 3-year OS

3-year OS and DFS, stage I and II (subgroup)

Similar between groups; stage I OS P = 0.901, DFS P = 0.859; stage II OS P = 0.421, DFS P = 0.459

Postoperative hospital stay, interval before adjuvant chemotherapy, medical expenses

Shorter hospital stay and interval before adjuvant chemotherapy, lower medical expenses with ERAS (reported previously)
