ABSTRACT
In cases of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) with intraluminal growth, determining the minimal resection line is difficult; however, the combined use of endoscopy can overcome this limitation. We performed robot-assisted partial gastrectomy with endoscopy for two cases of internally developed GISTs located on the posterior wall near the esophagogastric junction (EGJ). We confirmed the tumor location and determined minimal surgical margins using endoscopy. The double bipolar method (DBM), which is performed with Maryland bipolar forceps in the right hand and fenestrated bipolar forceps in the left hand, was used to reduce residual gastric damage and prevent tumor damage. The characteristics of robot-assisted surgery made it easier to precisely perform anastomosis of the upper part of the stomach, as compared with laparoscopic surgery, thus minimizing gastric deformity. Both patients were discharged without postoperative complications. In conclusion, robot-assisted partial gastrectomy using the DBM may represent a viable treatment option for gastric submucosal tumors close to the EGJ.
