Abstract
Surgical management of malignant gastric gist with organ sparing surgery
Highlights
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) is a rare tumour of alimentary canal (0.1-3%) arising from the interstitial cells of Cajal
We present a case of lesser curvature GIST for which a greater curvature sparing gastrectomy is done
Greater curvature preserving gastrectomy for GIST is rare in literature
Summary
A midline laparotomy followed by creation of a sleeve of the greater curvature was done. The cardio-oesophageal junction was divided and the tumour along with stomach adjacent to the lesser curvature resected using gastro-intestinal anastomotic linear staplers. Once vascularity of remnant stomach was confirmed, the greater curvature remnant was anastomosed to the oesophagus, restoring anatomic continuity
