abstract = {Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the early and late outcomes after pylorus-preserving gastrectomy (PPG) compares with distal gastrectomy (DG) in early gastric cancer (EGC).
Methods: We used PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library to conduct a comprehensive search up to March 2016. All suitable studies comparing PPG with DG were included. Weighted mean difference (WMD), odds ratio (OR) and hazard ratio (HR) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated in this meta-analysis.
Results: Sixteen studies of 2,066 EGC patients that compared PPG (n=685) with DG (n=1,381) were analyzed. As for early outcomes, analysis of PPG versus DG showed that PPG had shorter operative time (WMD =−12.84; 95% CI: −16.76 to −8.91, P},
