| 摘要 |
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the alimentary
canal and are postulated to have originated from the interstitial cells of Cajal. We present three patients
with an age range from 43 to 63 years old diagnosed with GIST of the gastroesophageal junction (GEJ). All
patients were noted to have submucosal lesions through gastroscopy, in which the largest was 5 cm × 7 cm
in size. All of them underwent emergent surgery due to various reasons, and the Merendino procedure
was performed as the surgery of choice. All of them recovered well and were discharged on days 10–12.
The histopathological examination demonstrated a GIST. Merendino procedure can improve patients’
digestive functions and nutritional status, leading to a better quality of life after surgery with a reduction
in postoperative complications. This case series demonstrated proximal gastrectomy with Merendino
procedure reconstruction as a safe, efficient, and feasible approach in treating gastric GISTs at the GEJ. |
