|
In recent years, laparoscopic gastrectomy has been applied to the treatment of gastric cancer, especially early gastric cancer. However, there had been few reports of laparoscopically assisted total gastrectomy in the treatment of gastric cancer because of the difficult surgical technique. We performed laparoscopically assisted total gastrectomy without complications in 56-year-old man who took the endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) 10 months before operation. The lesion was located at the midbody of lesser curvature of the stomach, which was the upper margin of previous EMR site. The patient remains well without no specific problems in recent 6 months following surgery. When patients are carefully selected, laparoscopically assisted total gastrectomy can be safe and minimally invasive treatment for early gastric cancer.
