[Minimally invasive surgery for gastric cancer].
The use of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of gastric cancer has not yet met with widespread acceptance. Hence, it should be regarded as still in the developmental phase. We present our experience with laparoscopic gastrectomy in four patients with gastric cancer during the last few months. The postoperative course was uneventful in all patients. It seems that although it remains a challenging procedure, laparoscopic gastrectomy should be considered as a possibility when planning this procedure.
