The results of surgical treatment of early gastric cancer in 230 patients were traced. The diagnosis of the disease was made on the basis of gastroscopy data in combination with chromogastroscopy, narrow-spectrum magnifying endoscopy, as well as the results of computed tomography. In 128 patients with early gastric cancer, minimally invasive operations were performed in the form of endoscopic resections of the mucosa and submucosal dissection. In 102 patients, the scope of the operation was reduced to classical gastrectomy and gastric resection. It was found that after a minimally invasive operation, the frequency of postoperative complications in the early postoperative period decreases, and the survival rate after 5 years exceeds that after classical operations by 9.8%.
