Objective To explore the value of laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy in treatment for gastric stromal tumors. Method The clinical data of 45 patients with gastric stromal tumors performed laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy resection from June 2008 to June 2012 in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Results Forty-five patients with gastric stromal tumors were successfully excised by laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy, and the tumors were completely resected and no residual tumor at the edge. The length of surgical incision was about 4-6 cm with an average of 5.1 cm. The mean operation time was 75 min. Postoperative recovery was smooth, no surgery-related comp-lications occurred. The mean hospital stay was 6.8 d. No recurrence or metastasis happened within the follow-up with an average of 16.5 months. The immunohistochemical examination results:43 cases of CD117 was positive, 32 cases of CD34 was positive, 28 cases of SMA was positive, 2 cases of Desmin was positive, 22 cases of S-100 was positive. Conclusions The treatment of gastric stromal tumors through laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy is safe and effective. The benefits include minimal invasiveness, shorter operation time, and rapid postoperative recovery. The laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy can make more precise resection range, and avoid residual tumor and resection of excessive normal gastric tissue.
