This pilot study aims to provide valuable insights into the optimal surgical approach for robotic distal gastrectomy. By comparing full robotic procedures with assistant-controlled techniques, the results may guide future practice, enhancing surgical efficiency, reducing costs, and improving patient outcomes.

Patients undergoing robotic radical distal gastrectomy.
Patients under 19 years of age.
Patients who have received preoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Patients diagnosed with stage IV gastric cancer due to distant metastasis.
