Summary
Laparoscopic gastrectomy has fewer infectious complications compared to open surgery.
Recently, the incidence of postoperative infectious complications was greatly reduced due to
the development of surgical techniques and improvement of prevention and control of surgical
infection. Previous multicenter, phase II study (KSWEET-01) revealed that the incidence of
infectious complications of laparoscopic gastrectomy without prophylactic antibiotics was not
significantly higher than previously reported data.
Therefore, this study aim to prove the safety of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy
without prophylactic antibiotics, specially reference to the postoperative infectious
complications.
