This meta-analysis of four RCTs (n= 569) compared robotic gastrectomy (RG) and laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) for advanced gastric cancer after neoadjuvant therapy. RG significantly extended operative time but reduced time to first flatus and liquid diets, and increased lymph node dissection. No significant differences were found in postoperative complications, blood loss, hospital stays, or readmission/reoperation rates.
