Efficacy of laparoscopic radical operation for gastric cancer and its influence on the immune function

Objective To explore efficacy of laparoscopic radical operation for gastric cancer and analyze its influence on immune function.Methods 86 patients with gastric cancer were ran-domly divided into observation group and control group,43 cases in each group.The control group received conventional open type gastric cancer treatment,while observation group received laparo-scopic radical gastrectomy treatment.Blood loss,the first exhaust time,ambulation time,the fre-quency of use of pain medications,first feeding time and length of stay were compared,and immune function after 10 days of treatment(CD3,CD4,CD8,CD4 /CD8 levels and the percentage of NK cells)as well as the incidence rate of postoperative complications were compared.Results Intraop-erative blood loss,the first exhaust time,ambulation time,the frequency of pain medications,first feeding time and hospital stay in the observation group were significantly better than the control group (P <0.05 ).10 days after treatment,CD3,CD4,CD8,CD4 /CD8 levels in both groups sig-nificantly reduced,and of which in the observation group were significantly better than the control group (P <0.05).There was no significant difference of complications between two groups (P <0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic radical operation for gastric cancer can significantly improve post-operative recovery,reduce incidence of complications and cause less influence on immune function, so it is worthy of clinical application.
