Laparoscopic Intragastric Surgery With Endoscopic Assistance: A 2 Gastrostomy Approach With Multiple Applications.
PURPOSE: Laparoscopic intragastric resection is a surgical modality with acceptable oncologic outcomes for gastrointestinal stromal tumors and leiomyomas, particularly for masses located near the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). We describe our technique of 2 gastrostomy laparoscopic, intragastric resection with endoscopic assistance.
METHODS: We detail our technique and report a unique application of this versatile approach.
RESULTS: Between December 2015 and July 2016, 4 patients underwent our combined technique of intragastric surgery. Complete resection was performed in the 2 patients who had gastrointestinal stromal tumors and 1 patient with a leiomyoma without complications. One patient had the unique diagnosis of gastritis cystica profunda. This mass could not be resected, but an effective Tru-cut core needle biopsy was obtained, and the mass was able to be diagnosed and decompressed.
CONCLUSIONS: Our technique of 2 gastrostomy laparoscopic intragastric surgery is feasible and offers an effective oncologic approach for resection of tumors near the GEJ.
