 note = {Between September 1992 and July 1996, 2 patients with type I early gastric cancer, 3 with type IIa, and 14 with type IIc, totaling 19 patients underwent laparoscopic partial gastrectomy (gastric wedge resections in 17 and Billroth II distal gastric resection in 2). There were 12 men and 7 women. Mean age was 65.4 years ranging from 44 to 86. Gastric lesions were located on the anterior wall in 7, posterior wall in 8 and lesser curvature in 4. In 15 of 19 patients, we performed laparoscopic surgery by a lesion lifting method using plastic T-fasteners. Average operative time was 164.8±49.6 min (range 85-252) in all, 153.7±46.7 min for the lesion lifting method, and 227 ± 33 min for diatal gastrectomy. Average blood loss was 44.1 ± 57.3 ml, 30.9 ± 43.7 ml, and 97 ± 61 ml, respectively. Mean hospital stay after surgery was 13.6 ± 6.8 (6-30) days. There was no mortality and no postoperative complications. The average size of tumors in type I, IIa and lie was 30 mm, 17.3 mm and 20 mm, respectively. In histologic examination, 16 cases were differentiated carcinoma and the remaining 3 cases were signet cell carcinoma. One of 4 cases diagnosed as SM cancer preoperatively was m (mucosal) cancer, two were sm (submucosal), and one was mp (muscularis propria) cancer histologically, but no one was involved in regional lymph nodes. These results indicate that laparoscopic partial gastrectomy will play an increasing role in the treatment of early gastric cancer without lymph node involvement as well as benign gastric tumors., Acta medica Nagasakiensia. 1996, 41(3-4), p.57-65},
