Patients were matched by age, sex, comorbidity, American Society Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, tumor location, clinical TNM stage, extent Short outcomes between the two groups. overall incidence postoperative 30-day complications significantly lower group group. major complication trended but not different. length hospital stay shorter. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that 5-year disease-free survival similar In summary, surgical management is associated rates morbidity as well comparable outcomes.
