Combined Endoscopic and Laparoscopic Approach to a Gastroesophageal Tumor

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Smooth muscle tumors of the stomach, especially when benign, are a common clinical entity and can represent a therapeutic challenge. Classically the removal of such a tumor requires open laparotomy. We sought to perform this surgery utilizing minimally invasive technology....

description BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Smooth muscle tumors of the stomach, especially when benign, are a common clinical entity and can represent a therapeutic challenge. Classically the removal of such a tumor requires open laparotomy. We sought to perform this surgery utilizing minimally invasive technology. METHODS: We describe a minimally invasive technique combining laparoscopy with endoscopy to remove a submucosal leiomyoma at the gastroesophageal junction. RESULTS: A 3.3-cm smooth muscle tumor of the gastroesophageal junction was removed completely and safely with the described procedure and thus saved the patient from requiring a laparotomy. CONCLUSION: Minimally invasive techniques can be used in combination to tackle difficult problems in general surgery leading to shorter hospital stays and improved patient satisfaction.
