Abstract:Benign tumors of the stomach may be approached and resected laparoscopically; a transgastric, intra-organ approach is safe and efficient; laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is safe and technically feasible; patients have a shorter recovery interval and shorter postoperative hospital stay. Cautious progress in this field is recommended.
“…Anterior gastrostomy with tumour eversion was initially described for benign pathology, 14 and this has since progressed to the resection of large tumours of the anterior gastric wall. 15 This approach seems to be favoured over a simple wedge resection for any tumour close to the gastro-oesophageal junction due to the risk of postoperative stenosis.…”
Pancreatitis secondary to a prolapsed gastric GIST is a rare entity. Laparoscopic wedge resection of these tumours can be safely performed with a satisfactory oncological outcome.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
