LAPAROSCOPIC PARTIAL GASTRIC RESECTION WI TH INTRACORPOREAL ROUX-EN-YANASTOMOSIS

In a patient with recurrent ulcer disease under medication, which was complicated by episodes of bleeding, a laparoscopic partial gastric re section with intracorporal Roux-en-Y anastomosis was performed. The op eration was completed within 3 h with blood loss < 10 ml. The postoper ative hospital stay of 6 days was uncomplicated as was the further fol low-up (2 months so far). This operation and the study of results publ ished in the literature showed us that a gastric resection can certain ly be performed laparoscopically in the appropriate patient.
