Abstract

REIMONDEZ, Santiago et al. Gastrectomía atípica laparoscópica en el tratamiento de GIST gástrico: Resultados a corto y mediano plazo. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2017, vol.77, n.4, pp.274-278. ISSN 0025-7680.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. Recently, many studies have addressed the laparoscopic management of these tumors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic atypical gastrectomy in the resolution of these neoplasms. In the period between January 2009 and December 2015, 24 patients with suspected gastric GIST less than 5 cm in size underwent surgery under this approach. Abscense of peritoneal and liver metastases and immunohistochemistry expression of CD117 antigen were considered as inclusion criteria. We retrospectively analyzed clinical and histopathological characteristics, surgical outcomes, postoperative complications and oncological results. Statistical analysis included 14 patients. The mean age was 60 years (10 women and 4 men) and upper gastrointestinal bleeding was the chief complaint for consultation. Conversion to open surgery was necessary in one case and no major complications, readmissions or reoperations were recorded. The mean tumor size was 41 mm with negative resection margin in all samples. The mean hospital stay was 3 days and no tumor recurrences were recorded in 44 months of follow-up. Laparoscopic atypical gastrectomy for gastric GIST is a safe and effective technique with good outcomes in experienced hands.
