Objectives:
We analyzed our experience with the laparoscopic approach for treating benign gastric lesions.
Methods:
Between June 1998 and June 2002, we performed 18 gastric resections with the laparoscopic approach for 7 pyloric stenoses, 8 recurrent duodenal ulcers, and 3 chronic gastric ulcers.
Results:
In our series, we performed Billroth II laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with no morbidity and mortality.
Conclusions:
Billroth II laparoscopic distal gastrectomy is safe in cases of benign gastric or duodenal lesions.
