Implementing robot-assisted minimally invasive gastrectomy (RAMIG) for gastric cancer in a European tertiary referral center

Implementing RAMIG in our tertiary referral center resulted in similar perioperative outcomes with improved nodal yield, despite longer operating times. The robotic technique facilitated modification to handsewn esophagojejunostomy. Short learning curves (8-24 cases) for experienced robotic surgeons support adaption towards RAMIG.
