Popis: The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility and early outcomes of laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy with a modified splenic hilar lymphadenectomy for upper- and middle-third stage cT1-2 gastric cancer. A total of 97 patients diagnosed with upper- and middle-third stage cT1-T2 gastric cancer were enrolled. Patients were assigned to the laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy group (LATG, n = 41) or the open total gastrectomy group (OTG, n = 56). All patients underwent total gastrectomy with modified splenic hilar lymphadenectomy. The operative and postoperative measures, number of retrieved lymph nodes (LNs), and complications were compared between the two groups. The mean number of dissected LNs was not significantly different between the two groups: 23.1 ± 8.0 in the LATG group versus 24.2 ± 7.5 in the OTG group. Compared with the OTG group, the LATG group had less operative blood loss [104.2 ± 42.9 vs. 355.6 ± 51.3 ml (p
