Partial gastric resection by surgical stapler.
This technique of gastric resection is easily applied and is useful for benign lesions or complicated lesions in poor risk patients. For lesions of the fundus, it may obviate an esophagogastric anastomosis. To our knowledge, the procedure has not been described in gastric resection.
