Treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) during bariatric surgery

The gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a rare mesenchymal tumor. One should pay special attention when the GIST comes in obese patients during surgery. The laparoscopic resections with standard techniques, such as gastric bypass, have been described with good results. However, GIST resection associated sleeve gastrectomy for the treatment of obesity is rare, but can be done safely, depending on the location of the tumor.

胃肠道间质瘤（gastrointestinal stromal tumor, GIST）是一类罕见的间叶源性肿瘤。针对合并GIST的肥胖患者开展手术时，需予以格外关注。目前已有采用胃旁路术等标准技术实施腹腔镜切除术并获得良好疗效的报道。不过，为治疗肥胖症而联合袖状胃切除术的GIST切除术较为罕见，但依据肿瘤位置，该术式可安全开展。
