Abstract
In this video, we present the laparoscopic technique of pancreas-preserving segmental resection for GISTs of the 4th portion of the duodenum. A 54-year-old male presented with a polypoid mass of about 3 cm in diameter with a large base, in the 4th portion of the duodenum, about 4 cm from the ampulla. Multiple endoscopic biopsies were taken, and all were negative for adenocarcinoma. CT scan of the abdomen confirmed that the mass, suggestive of GIST, was limited to the duodenum, a limited part intraluminal and the vast majority in the duodenal wall. A laparoscopic segmental resection with a 3D video system was accomplished. The operation lasted 160 min. Recovery was uneventful.
