Interest in minimally invasive surgery has increased and many surgeons are attempting laparoscopic approaches, especially in lesions of the stomach near the esophagogastric junction not amendable to endoscopic removal, because conventional surgery can produce stenosis and distort the postoperative anatomy, and increase morbimortality.
We report our experience with laparoscopic intragastric surgery in 3 consecutive patients, with no complications.
Laparoscopic intragastric surgery extends the surgeons’ armamentarium to resect complex gastric lesions, while offering patients the benefits of minimal access surgery.
