    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic wedge resection for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). METHODS: One hundred GIST patients treated in our department between 2010 and 2014 were retrospectively enrolled, and their clinicopathological data were reviewed. Fifty patients underwent laparoscopic wedge resection, and open surgery cases were 1∶1 matched by tumor diameter. The clinicopathological characteristics, perioperative related factors, postoperative nutritional status and short-term outcome were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: Among the clinicopathological characteristics, only the age was of statistical significance (61.58±10.43 vs. 56.40±9.82, P=0.012). Over fifty percent of the tumors occurred in the gastric body. Although the short-term survival did not show statistical significance, the laparoscopic group showed predominant advantages in estimated blood loss [(48.60±48.89) ml vs. (137.60±140.69) ml, P<0.001], average hospital stay[ (12.14±4.32) d vs.(17.22±7.11) d, P<0.001], oral intake time[ (3.76±1.73)d vs. (6.28±3.73)d, P<0.01], decline of prealbumin [(0.07±0.04)g/L vs. (0.11±0.05)g/L, P<0.001)], decline of transferrin [(0.51±0.29)g/L vs. (0.64±0.30)g/L, P=0.034]and complication (2.0% vs. 14.0%, P=0.027). CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic wedge resection is feasible and safe for GIST surgery, allows a rapid recovery and having a better nutritional status in patients, and is a less invasive approach for patients.
