Abstract:
Gastric diverticuli are rare entities that may present with a variety of vague abdominal symptoms. Diagnosis requires endoscopic and radiologic evaluation preceded by clinical suspicion. This is the first report describing the laparascopic excision of a gastric diverticulum. A description of this procedure and suggestions for the workup of gastric diverticuli are presented.
