Objective To explore the applying value of laparoscopic partial gastrectomy for gastric stromal tumors.
Methods The clinical data of 22 patients with gastric stromal tumors between July 2007 and December 2009 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively. And the laparoscopic resection was performed in all the patients.
Results The laparoscopic resections were performed successfully in all the patients, and the tumors were completely resected. The length of operative incision on abdominal wall was 4-6 cm with average 5.3 cm. The mean operation time was 70 min. Postoperative recovery was smooth, no procedure related complications happened. The mean hospital stay was 7.2 d. Specimens of 20 cases were with CD117 (+), and 15 with CD34 (+) by immunohistochemistry. No recurrence or metastasis happened with average follow-up of 13 months (2-23 months).
Conclusion Laparoscopic partial gastrectomy for gastric stromal tumors could be performed safely, postoperative recovery quickly and effectively with the advantage of minimal invasiveness.
