In 2014-2021, 166 patients were treated for stomach cancer. A total of 149 (89.8%) resection operations of various volumes were performed. In the remaining cases, palliative and diagnostic operations were performed. Moreover, out of 40.0% (63/166) of patients who had videoendoscopic access during the operation, 92.1% (58/63) had resection operations. And with traditional "open" access – in 84.5% (79/93). Laparoscopic access was performed for 21 gastrectomies and 28 distal subtotal resections of the stomach. Laparotomic access – 29 gastrectomies and 30 distal subtotal resections. The number of postoperative complications did not differ significantly. However, laparoscopic operations were more effective in terms of resection efficiency and the average number of removed regional lymph nodes.
