In this national retrospective study (https://doi.org/10. 1245/s10434-021-11193-6), we observe socioeconomic differences in patients undergoing Minimally Invasive Gastrectomy (MIG), which is explained by hospital-level factors in MIG utilization.

Establishing MIG as a safe approach to gastric cancers and understanding regional differences in implementation patterns can inform delivery of equitable high-quality healthcare.
