Intraoperative Adverse Events in Robotic Radical Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer

Overview

Surgical quality control is a crucial determinant of evaluating the tumor efficacy. We assess the ClassIntra grade for quality control and oncological outcomes of robotic radical surgery for gastric cancer (GC).

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common malignant tumor worldwide and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Surgery remains the cornerstone of GC treatment, and there is a significant lack of research on iAE compared with postoperative complications. Owing to the influence of reporting and cultural acceptance, there have been issues of inadequate reporting and non-standardized practices regarding iAE reporting. The previously reported laparoscopic results showed that the ClassIntra grade is an effective prognostic and surgical quality control index for laparoscopic radical surgery for gastric cancer therefore it could be included in routine hospital care and surgical quality control. (DOI: 10.1097/SLA.0000000000005727). Here, iAEs in patients who underwent robotic radical gastrectomy significantly correlated with the occurrence of postoperative complications and a poor long-term prognosis. Therefore, utilization and inclusion of ClassIntra grading as a crucial surgical quality control and prognostic indicator in the routine surgical quality evaluation system are recommended.
