How minimally invasive surgery for gastric mesenchymal tumors is done

Minimally invasive surgery for gastric mesenchymal tumors is laparoscopic gastric mesenchymal tumor resection under general anesthesia, and different resection methods are chosen depending on the location and size of the tumor. If the diameter of the tumor is less than 5cm, such as the tumor located at the fundus of the stomach, wedge resection can be performed using a linear cutting closure; if the tumor is located in the body of the stomach, irregular gastrectomy is performed with a cutting closure; if the tumor is located near the cardia or pylorus, tumor gouging surgery or irregular resection is performed. If the diameter of the tumor is greater than 5 cm, depending on the location of the tumor, either proximal or distal gastric major resection is chosen, and minimally invasive surgery is not recommended. If the diameter of the tumor is greater than 10 cm, either a major gastrectomy or a total gastrectomy can be performed. The resection range of the lesion is 2cm from the edge of the tumor, and the tumor is placed in a pouch and removed through an auxiliary incision. Postoperative pathological examinations need to be done routinely, and regular follow-up is required.
