Low incidence of postoperative infectious complications following laparoscopic distal gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer in older adult patients above 75 years: Propensity score‐matched comparison with open distal gastrectomy
LDG is safe and feasible for locally advanced gastric cancer in patients aged ≥75 years. Moreover, it may be a promising alternative to ODG with better short-term outcomes, including significantly lower incidence rates of postoperative complications.
