As the number of gastric cancer survivors is increasing and their quality of life after surgery is being emphasized, single-port surgery is emerging as an alternative to conventional gastrectomy. A novel multi-degree-of-freedom (DOF) articulating device, the ArtiSential^® device (LivsMed, Seongnam, Korea), was designed to allow more intuitive and meticulous control for surgeons facing ergonomic difficulties with conventional tools. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of this new device during single-port laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (SP-LDG) for early gastric cancer (EGC) patients.

在单孔腹腔镜胃切除术中使用铰接器械是否有益？


随着胃癌幸存者数量的增加以及术后生活质量的重视，单孔手术正在成为传统胃切除术的替代方案。 ArtiSential ^®装置（LivsMed，城南，韩国）是一种新颖的多自由度 (DOF) 关节装置，其设计目的是让外科医生在使用传统工具时面临人体工程学困难时，能够进行更直观和细致的控制。在这项研究中，我们评估了这种新设备在早期胃癌（EGC）患者单孔腹腔镜远端胃切除术（SP-LDG）中的可行性。
