Laparoscopic Wedge Resection of Gastric Leiomyoma

Gastric leiomyoma is a relatively rare gastric neoplasm. Before the routine use of laparoscopy, various methods of treatment for gastric leiomyoma included open celiotomy with gastric wedge resection, partial gastrectomy, enucleation, and extended gastrectomy with en bloc resection of adjacent organs. Below, we describe a case of laparoscopic wedge resection and review the various laparoscopic techniques for the treatment of gastric leiomyoma.
