[Stomach resection through minimal approach with use of EndoGIA apparatus]

Our small experience of the use of the stomach resection technique through mini-approach with additional introduction of the apparatus Endo GIA through the separate puncture applied in 2 patients showed that according to its results in postoperative period, this method approximates laparoscopic resection, and in the same time it is less time consuming and cheaper. There was neither insufficiency of the anastomosis, nor pneumonias, wound complications. The patients were active since the first day after the operation, were discharged from clinic on the 7-th day pos/top and returned to normal home regime after 1,5--2 weeks.
