ABSTRACT

The combination of laparoscopy and gastroscopy makes up the defects of each of them when used alone, and further extends the application range of minimally invasive techniques. A 53-year-old patient with gastric stromal tumor was admitted to the Tenth People's Hospital of Tongji University on March 4, 2011. The result of gastroscopy showed that the tumor was at anterior wall of stomach with a size of 3.0 cm×3.5 cm. the result of CT scan preliminarily diagnosed the patient with gastric stromal tumor. Partial gastrectomy with laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy was applied to the patient on March 9, 2011. The operation time was 32 minutes and the blood loss was 10 ml. The duration of hospital stay was 4 days, and no postoperative complication occurred. Laparoscopy combined with gastroscopy for the treatment of gastric stromal tumor is feasible and safe with a favorable short-term outcome.
