The authors refer about laparoscopic gastric resections for benign gastric tumours in the group of 3 patients (adenomyoma, ectopic pancreas, leiomyoma). All operations were performed in cooperation with the gastroenterologist. The lesion was localised by means of gastroscopy and the extent of the resection was determined, too. In the postoperative course all typical advantages of laparoscopy could be seen – short hospital stay, minimal need for analgetics and early come back to full physical activity. The authors concluded, the laparoscopic operations for benign gastric tumours are the proper alternative to open surgery.
