Journal Article
Laparoscopic wedge resection for suspected large (≥5 cm) gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors
2017
Overview
Background
Laparoscopic wedge resection (LWR) for small gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) is now widely accepted, but its application for large GISTs remains controversial. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of LWR for suspected large (≥5 cm) gastric GISTs.
Methods
Retrospective review of 82 consecutive patients who underwent attempted LWR for suspected gastric GIST. LWR for large (≥5 cm) (
n
= 23) tumors was compared with LWR for small (<5 cm) tumors (
n
= 59). The 23 patients with LWR for large tumors were also compared to 36 consecutive patients who underwent open wedge resection (OWR) for large tumors.
Results
Comparison between patients who underwent LWR for large versus small tumors demonstrated that resection of large tumors was associated with a longer operating time. There was no difference in other perioperative outcomes, and oncological outcomes such as frequency of close margins (≤1 mm) and recurrence-free survival. Comparison between patients who underwent LWR versus OWR for large tumors showed that LWR was associated with decreased median time to fluid or solid diet, shorter postoperative stay but longer operating times. There was no difference in oncological outcomes.
Conclusion
LWR for suspected large gastric GIST is feasible and safe. It is associated with similar short-term outcomes with LWR for small tumors and favorable short-term outcomes over OWR for large tumors without compromising on oncological outcomes.
