Input: There is debate surrounding the use of laparoscopic resection for advanced gastric cancer in the Western population. Here we aim to assess the feasibility and short-term outcomes of laparoscopic gastrectomy in consecutive patients in a Western population.', 'From 2012 to 2014, retrospective review of 28 patients with clinically staged advanced gastric cancer (T3 or N1) treated with laparoscopic resection.', 'Sixty-one percentage of patients were male. Median age was 67 years (range 35-86). Median BMI was 26.5 (range 19.4-46.1). Resection types were proximal (n=2), distal (n=14), and total (n=12). Twenty-six (93%) patients underwent D2 lymphadenectomy. Four patients underwent conversion to open. Median blood loss was 125mL (range 30-300). Median LOS was 7days (range 4-16). Of postoperative complications, five were minor: arrhythmia (n=1), surgical site infection (n=3), in-hospital fall (n=1); and four were major (intra-abdominal abscess, stricture, PE, and anastomotic bleed). T stages were Tx (n=1), T2 (n=3), T3 (n=18), and T4 (n=6). N stages were N0 (n=4), N1 (n=8), N2 (n=1), and N3 (n=15). Median tumor size was 5.8cm (range 0-9.5). Median lymph node yield was 22 (range 6-53). All margins were negative. Median follow-up was 12.8months (range 2-27). Six patients have died of progressive disease.
