Robot‐assisted gastrectomy (RAG) has been developed in the hope of improving surgical quality and overcoming the limitations of conventional laparoscopically assisted gastrectomy (LAG) and open gastrectomy (OG) for gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the extent of evidence in support of these ideals.

Laparoscopic Surgery and Robotic Surgery
TLDR
In recent years, the type and resection area in laparoscopic surgery have changed significantly, and standard procedures have developed from D2 lymph node dissection to digestive tract reconstruction.
Robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer: the largest meta-analysis.
Robotic versus laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses
TLDR
The safety and efficacy of robotic gastrectomy are not clearly supported by strong evidence, suggesting that the outcomes reported for each surgical technique need to be interpreted with caution, in particular for the meta-analyses in which the heterogeneity is large.
Robotic gastrectomy for gastric cancer
TLDR
The current status and issues regarding robotic gastrectomy are summarized and a larger number of lymph nodes is likely to be retrieved using robotic Gastrectomy.
Robot-assisted laparoscopic vs open gastrectomy for gastric cancer: Systematic review and meta-analysis
TLDR
RAG seems to be a technically valid alternative to OG for performing radical gastrectomy in gastric cancer resulting in safe complications and no statistical differences among the number of harvested lymph nodes were found.
Multicenter Prospective Comparative Study of Robotic Versus Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Gastric Adenocarcinoma.
TLDR
The analysis of perioperative surgical outcomes indicated that robotic Gastrectomy is not superior to laparoscopic gastrectomy, and the use of robotic systems is assumed to provide a technically superior operative environment for minimally invasive surgery.
Robot-assisted laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer
TLDR
The present review looked at scientific evidence available today regarding the new high-tech surgical robotic approach, and attempted to bring to light the real advantages of robot-assisted gastrectomy compared to the traditional laparoscopic and open technique for the treatment of gastric cancer.
Robotic Partial and Total Gastrectomy
TLDR
This chapter will aim to discuss the indications for the application of robotic-assisted gastrectomy in both malignant and benign disease; the technical aspects in the use of robotics in these surgeries; the potential advantages of theUse of the robot in these cases; and future directions.
Robotic vs laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer: a retrospective comparative mono-institutional study
TLDR
Within the limitation of a small-sized, non-randomized analysis, this study confirms that robotic distal gastrectomy is a feasible and safe surgical procedure.
Advances in Laparoscopic and Robotic Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer
TLDR
There appears to be no significant differences between laparoscopic and robotic gastrectomies after the surgeon overcomes the associated learning curves, and the oncological outcome of the two approaches is similar.

Robotic gastrectomy as an oncologically sound alternative to laparoscopic resections for the treatment of early-stage gastric cancers.
TLDR
The largest comparative study demonstrates robotic gastrectomy to have better short-term and comparable oncologic outcomes compared with laparoscopic gastrectomies, demonstrating a robotic approach to gastric cancer is a promising alternative to Laparoscopic surgery.
Initial Experience of Robotic Gastrectomy and Comparison with Open and Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer
TLDR
Robotic gastrectomy could achieve extended lymph node dissection similar to open surgery and operative time and docking time were significantly reduced in the recent robotic group compared to the initial robotic group.
Laparoscopy-Assisted Versus Open Distal Gastrectomy for Early Gastric Cancer: Evidence from Randomized and Nonrandomized Clinical Trials
TLDR
L ADG may be a technically feasible alternative for EGC when it is performed in experienced surgical centers in which patients undergoing LADG may benefit from the faster postoperative recovery, and the currently available evidence cannot exclude the potential clinical benefits or harms.
