Laparoscopic resection of XXXX : a tailored approach.

@entity5 @entity1 @entity190 @entity356
Many different laparoscopic approaches to resection of @entity356 have been described in the literature. We reviewed our experience of laparoscopic approaches to surgical resection of gastric @entity5 seven in six consecutive @entity1 . The @entity5 locations were the @entity356 (n = 2), gastroesophageal junction (n = 1), gastric fundus (n = 2), and gastric antrum (n = 2). Laparoscopic localization of endoluminal @entity5 included intraoperative endoscopy, laparoscopic ultrasound, and laparoscopic palpation. There were five males with a mean age of 57 years. Laparoscopic approaches to resection were laparoscopic wedge resection (n = 4) for @entity5 in the gastric fundus and antrum, laparoscopic enucleation (n = 2) for @entity5 in the @entity356 , and transgastric endoluminal resection (n = 1) for a @entity5 located at the gastroesophageal junction. There was no conversion to laparotomy. The mean operative time was 143 +/- 54 minutes and mean @entity190 was 57 +/- 27 mL. None of the @entity1 required intensive care stay. The mean length of hospital stay was 3 days. There were no major or minor complications and no mortality. Surgical pathology demonstrated @entity356 with less than 2/50 mitosis per high power field in all seven specimens. @entity5 size ranged from 2.8 cm to 7.1 cm in greatest diameter. There has been no @entity5 recurrence with a mean follow-up of 9 months. Laparoscopic resection of benign @entity356 is safe and feasible. The laparoscopic approaches to surgical resection should be tailored based on the location and characteristics of the @entity5 .
