Meta-analysis of rate of long-term complication and long-term mortality after LADG versus ODG for the treatment of early gastric cancer. (A) Long-term overall mortality, (B) long-term disease related mortality, (C) long-term overall relapse, (D) long-term complication rate, and (E) follow-up time (month). CI = confidence interval, LADG = laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy, ODG = open distal gastrectomy, SD = standard deviation.
