Gastric cancer remains a significant global health issue, and surgical resection continues to be the cornerstone of treatment, especially for early-stage disease. Recent advancements in minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted gastrectomy, have transformed the surgical landscape by offering reduced morbidity and faster recovery times while maintaining oncological safety. Endoscopic techniques like Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) have further improved the management of early gastric cancer, allowing for precise, minimally invasive tumor resections. Despite these advances, there are ongoing challenges, particularly in the management of advanced gastric cancer, where the extent of lymphadenectomy and the role of minimally invasive techniques remain areas of active research. The future of gastric cancer surgery will likely involve greater integration of technological innovations such as artificial intelligence, next-generation robotic systems, and the use of 3D printing to personalize treatment. This paper highlights the current status of these advancements and explores future directions for improving clinical outcomes and quality of life in gastric cancer patients.
