Laparoscopic Resection of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (Gist)

Abstract: Background Gastrointestinal mesenchymal or stromal tumors (GIST) are lesions originated on digestive tract walls, which are treated by surgical resection. Several laparoscopic techniques, from gastrectomies to segmental resections, have been used successfully. Aim Describe a single center experience on laparoscopic GIST resection. Method Charts of 15 operated patients were retrospectively reviewed. Thirteen had gastric lesions, of which ten were sub epithelial, ranging from 2-8 cm; and three were pure exofitic… Show more

“…However, when GIST is histologically proven the European and Japanese guidelines recommend resection regardless of its size. Lately, several endoscopic and combined endoscopic and laparoscopic resections techniques have been proposed 2 , 11 , 15 , 19 , 21 , 24 , 26 , 29 , 31 , 32 . However, these types of treatments exhibit some complications 1 , 14 .…”

“…Therefore, Brazil emerges as the second country in the world, behind only the USA, to have a high number of bariatric surgery (BS), with more than 95,000 operations performed per year. In the last 10 years, the number of BS increased by 300%, and the risk of this procedure is currently equivalent to a medium-sized abdominal surgery [ 8 ].…”

“…This study is subject to the limitations inherent to its retrospective design, and the experience of a single endosonographer in solely a referral center. Furthermore, the diagnoses obtained by means of EUS-FNA were not compared to surgery 15 . However, as most patients were asymptomatic and their median lesion size was 16 mm, it would not be possible to submit all GISTs to resection.…”
