Abstract:
This article focuses on laparoscopic gastric resections for neoplastic disease, gastric cancer, and gastric mesenchymal tumors. Established oncologic principles governing resections for neoplastic disease must not be overlooked in the laparoscopic approach to surgical management. Evidence-based information on surgical management of gastric cancer and stromal stomach tumors is presented, and the laparoscopic procedures that can be undertaken without compromising the clinical outcome are surveyed.
