Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the treatment efficacy of laparoscopic resection of gastric stromal tumors.
METHODSThe clinical data of 30 patients with laparoscopic resection of gastric stromal tumors from Apr. 2004 to Apr. 2006 were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTSThe preoperative diagnosis of gastric stromal tumors mainly relied on gastroscope, ultrasound gastroscope, barium meal and abdominal CT scan. Tumor size ranged from 2 to 10 cm. Surgical procedures included laparoscopic wedge resection for 22 patients, laparoscopic distal gastrectomies for 6 patients, and laparoscopic proximal gastrectomies for 2 patients. All operations were successful, with an average operation time of 120+/-35 min and a blood loss of 5-200 ml. Postoperative length of stay was 4-10 days. No recurrence had occurred during 3-24 months follow-up.
CONCLUSIONLaparoscopic resection of gastric stromal tumors is a safe and reliable procedure, with quick postoperative recovery and minimal invasion.
