Comparison of open, robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy with surgical site infection in patients with advanced gastric cancer: a retrospective cohort study
Abstract:Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is the second most common type of nosocomial infection; approximately 500,000 SSIs occur every year in the United States. SSIs lead to increased negative patient outcomes, which contribute to the economic burden of $1-10 billion annually medical costs associated with SSI.In many studies, Laparoscopic surgery may be associated with less risk of SSI than is traditional open surgery. And Robotic surgery is an advanced minimally invasive technique than Laparoscopic surgery… Show more
