Introduction
Despite the remarkable progress in minimally invasive surgery, the potential association between laparoscopic gastrectomy and the risk of peritoneal metastasis remains uncertain.

Aim
To investigate variations in tumour markers in intraperitoneal drainage fluid between laparoscopic radical gastrectomy and open radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Material and methods
A total of 106 patients diagnosed with gastric cancer between July 2018 and November 2020 were included in this study, 45 of whom underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (laparoscopic group) and 61 underwent open radical gastrectomy (open group). Variations in the levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cancer antigen 125 (CA125), cancer antigen 199 (CA199), and α-fetoprotein (AFP) in the intraperitoneal drainage fluid were compared and analysed on postoperative days (PODs) 1, 2, 3, and 5 between the two groups. Additionally, the postoperative 3-year survival rates between the two groups were compared and analysed.

Results
No significant differences in CEA, CA199, and AFP levels in the intraperitoneal drainage fluid were observed between the two groups on postoperative days (PODs) 1, 2, 3, and 5 (p > 0.05). However, the level of CA125 in the intraperitoneal drainage fluid of the laparoscopic group was notably higher than that of the open group on POD 2 (p < 0.05); however, there were no significant differences between the two groups on PODs 1, 3, and 5 (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the 3-year postoperative survival rates between the two groups.

Conclusions
There were no significant differences in CEA, CA125, CA199, and AFP levels in the intraperitoneal drainage fluid between laparoscopic radical gastrectomy and open radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer, confirming from another perspective that laparoscopic radical gastrectomy does not increase the risk of intraperitoneal metastasis.
