Background: Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has been applied to patients with a history of abdominal surgery, we lack data on the surgical outcome of LC in patients with a history of gastrectomy. Here, we assessed the outcomes of LC and investigated predictive factors for conversion from laparoscopic to open surgery in patients with a gastrectomy history.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively compared the surgical outcomes of LC between patients with and without a history of gastrectomy.
Article Synopsis
- A rare case of a gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) was reported in a 58-year-old male, who had a history of duodenal GIST resected 9 years prior.
- Following anemia-related admission, a CT scan revealed a large stomach tumor over 10 cm, leading to extensive surgical intervention including subtotal gastrectomy and splenectomy.
- The pathological examination confirmed the tumor as a high-risk gastric GIST, and the patient has been successfully treated with imatinib since surgery, with no recurrence observed in the last 2 years.
