Objective To explore the influencing factors of liver dysfunction after laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Methods The clinical and pathological data of patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer at the Gastric Cancer Center of West China Hospital, Sichuan University, from June 2021 to June 2024 were collected. Results A total of 282 patients were included. Postoperative liver dysfunction occurred in 211 cases, while 71 cases had normal liver function. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female patients [OR=4.87, 95%CI (2.28, 10.43)], increased age [OR=1.04, 95%CI (1.02, 1.07)], history of long-term alcohol consumption [OR=2.91, 95%CI (1.47, 5.76)], prolonged operation time [OR=1.01, 95%CI (1.00, 1.01)], and patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy [OR=2.47, 95%CI (1.09, 5.62)] had a significantly higher incidence of postoperative liver function abnormalities (P<0.05). Conclusion Female patients, older age, a history of alcohol consumption, prolonged operative duration, and receipt of neoadjuvant chemotherapy are associated with a higher incidence of abnormal liver function following laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. In clinical practice, special attention should be paid to monitoring perioperative liver function changes in patients with these risk factors. Proactive measures to protect perioperative liver function are warranted to improve patients’ quality of life.
