Forest plots illustrating results of postoperative complications in the form of a meta-analysis comparing laparoscopic total gastrectomy vs open total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95%CI was calculated using the fixed-effects model. A: Overall complication rate; B: Anastomotic leak; C: Anastomotic Stenosis; D: Ileus; E: Bleeding; F: Abdominal abscess; G: Wound-related complications; H: Mortality. LTG: Laparoscopic total gastrectomy; OTG: Open total gastrectomy.
