Exploring ideal operative time for best outcomes in gastric cancer surgery: A multi-institutional study based on KLASS-07 database
CHINESE JOURNAL OF CANCER RESEARCH(2023)
摘要
Objective: While a rushed operation can omit essential procedures, prolonged operative time results in higher morbidity. Nevertheless, the optimal operative time range remains uncertain. This study aimed to estimate the ideal operative time range and evaluate its applicability in laparoscopic cancer surgery.Methods: A prospectively collected multicenter database of 397 patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy were retrospectively reviewed. The ideal operative time range was statistically calculated by separately analyzing the operative time of uneventful surgeries. Finally, intraoperative and postoperative outcomes were compared among the shorter, ideal, and longer operative time groups.Results: The statistically calculated ideal operative time was 135.4-165.4 min. The longer operative time (LOT) group had a lower rate of uneventful, perfect surgery than the ideal or shorter operative time (IOT/SOT) group (2.8% vs. 8.8% and 2.2% vs. 13.4%, all P<0.05). Longer operative time increased bleeding, postoperative morbidities, and delayed diet and discharge (all P<0.05). Particularly, an uneventful, perfect surgery could not be achieved when the operative time exceeded 240 min. Regardless of ideal time range, SOT group achieved the highest percentage of uneventful surgery (13.4%), which was possible by surgeon's ability to retrieve a higher number of lymph nodes and perform >= 150 gastrectomies annually.Conclusions: Operative time longer than the ideal time range (especially >= 240 min) should be avoided. If the essential operative procedure were faithfully conducted without compromising oncological safety, an operative time shorter than the ideal range leaded to a better prognosis. Efforts to minimize operative time should be attempted with sufficient surgical experience.
