Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Laparoscopic excision of gastric leiomyoma is technically feasible and safe, but it may fail to localize the exact placement of the lesion because of the lack of tactile sensitivity. The authors present two cases of small gastric leiomyomas that were resected by a totally laparoscopic approach, assisted with intraoperative laparoscopic ultrasonography because the lesions could not be palpated. A gastric wedge resection with tumor-free margins was performed with an endostapler device. Use of a harmonic scalpel to divide the gastroepiploic vessels facilitated the laparoscopic procedure.
