Abstract
Background
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Overall surgical experience with minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has increased; however, published reports on MIS resection of GIST are limited to small, single-institution experiences.
Methods
A total of 397 patients who underwent open surgery (n = 230) or MIS (n = 167) for a gastric GIST between 1998 and 2012 were identified from a multicenter database. The impact of MIS approach on recurrence and survival was analyzed using propensity-score matching by comparing clinicopathologic factors between patients who underwent MIS versus open resection.
Results
There were 19 conversions (10 %) to open; the most common reasons for conversion were tumor more extensive than anticipated (26 %) and unclear anatomy (21 %). On multivariate analysis, smaller tumor size and higher body mass index (BMI) were associated with receipt of MIS. In the propensity-matched cohort (n = 248), MIS resection was associated with decreased length of stay (MIS, 3 days vs open, 8 days) and fewer ≥ grade 3 complications (MIS, 3 % vs open, 14 %) compared with open surgery. High rates of R0 resection and low rates of tumor rupture were seen in both groups. After propensity-score matching, there was no difference in recurrence-free or overall survival comparing the MIS and the open group (both p > 0.05).
Conclusions
An MIS approach for gastric GIST was associated with low morbidity and a high rate of R0 resection. The long-term oncological outcome following MIS was excellent, and therefore the MIS approach should be considered the preferred approach for gastric GIST in well-selected patients.
