This study introduces a new method for laparoscopic intragastric surgery using a GelPort device. This technique simplifies trocar insertion and site closure, potentially reducing procedure time for early gastric cancer and submucosal tumor operations.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Gastrointestinal oncology
  • Surgical techniques

Background:

  • Laparoscopic intragastric surgery for early gastric cancer and submucosal tumors typically involves inserting three trocars directly into the gastric lumen.
  • Standard laparoscopic techniques for trocar site closure can be complex and time-consuming.

Observation:

  • A GelPort hand-assist device was utilized through a 5-cm upper abdominal incision.
  • Trocars were inserted into the gastric lumen via the device's gel seal cap, which was repeatedly attached and detached during surgery.

Findings:

  • This approach facilitates an open technique for trocar insertion into the gastric lumen.
  • It enables straightforward closure of trocar sites within the gastric wall.

Implications:

  • The described GelPort technique offers a potentially easier and more time-efficient alternative to conventional laparoscopic methods for intragastric surgery.
  • This may lead to improved workflow and reduced operative times in the management of gastric neoplasms.
