Transoral Removal of Specimen During Laparoscopic Gastric Resection

Transoral Removal of Specimen During Laparoscopic Gastric Resection

Investigators aimed to present the patients who underwent laparoscopic gastrectomy with transoral specimen extraction.

Minimally invasive surgical procedures such as NOSE (Natural orifice spesmen extraction) and NOTES (Natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery) are gradually increasing. The transoral way is probably the least used for NOSE.

Inclusion Criteria:

• laparoscopic gastric resection
• Patients aged 18-70 years

Exclusion Criteria:

• other transorally removed organs (appendix, gallbladder, surrenal)
