Robot-Assisted or Laparoscopic Resection for Gastric Subepithelial Tumor With Hand-Sewn Repair, a Case Series

There are a lot of surgical techniques in minimally-invasive surgery to remove gastric subepithelium tumor. Surgical approach depend on location and size of tumor. Usefully used Endostapler to cut stomach include lesion. For tumors in difficult locations some surgeons prefer laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperation or use the intragastric port technique to identify and remove the mass. But in complex procedures, gastotomy and hand sawn to identify and remove gastric subepithelium tumor is a simple technique and easy to apply. This study demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of this technique.
