PURPOSE: To evaluate laparoscopic gastric resection for @entity674 ( @entity674 ). METHODS: From June, 2003 to October, 2009, 56 @entity1 with @entity1820 who underwent laparoscopic gastric resection were retrospectively reviewed, and their surgical procedure, perioperative outcomes, pathology, and follow-up outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: All @entity1 underwent laparoscopic gastric resection successfully, including 33 laparoscopic wedge resections, 19 laparoscopic @entity5 -everting resections, 3 laparoscopic-assisted distal gastrectomies, and 1 laparoscopic-assisted endoscopic resection. The operative approaches performed were mostly based on the @entity5 location. No conversions were observed. The mean operative duration was 90 minutes (30 to 210 min), @entity190 was 55 mL (5 to 180 mL), time for passage of flatus was 2 days (1 to 11 d), and the postoperative hospital stay was 7 days (3 to 13 d). The resection margin was microscopic negative. After 21.5 months (6 to 76 mo) of follow-up, there was no operative recurrence and @entity3 . CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic gastric resection for selective cases of @entity356 is safe, feasible, and effective. Laparoscopic wedge resection procedure is the first choice for most GISTs located in fundus and anterior wall, laparoscopic @entity5 -everting resection procedure can be used in cases with the @entity5 located in esophagogastric junction area and in posterior wall of the stomach as well. For @entity5 , laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy with gastrojejunostomy should be performed.
