  ABSTRACT: Objective: This study evaluated the safety and operative utilities of the laparoscopic gastric mobilization compared with hand-assisted laparoscopic gastric mobilization. Patients and Methods: From April 2010 to November 2015, 125 patients with esophageal cancer have been performed laparoscopic mobilization; 33 under hand-assisted laparoscopic gastric mobilization (HLG group) and 92 under laparoscopic gastric mobilization without hand-assisted technique (LG group). Preoperative data and surgical outcomes of 2 groups were compared. Results: Preoperative data were not significantly different except for BMI. Operation time in abdominal procedure of LG group is significantly longer than HLG group (P
