ABSTRACT: A stricture
formation resulting in impedance of gastric emptying is a fairly common
complication after gastric surgery with endoscopy being the most direct way of
diagnosis. When this and other methods fail in detecting the complication, the
proper diagnosis can become challenging. We present an unusual case of an
acquired gastric stricture after the gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST)
resection. A stapled strictureplasty was
completed with the simultaneous application of the diagnostic laparoscopy and the
intra-operative EGD. We perform the comprehensive literature review (Pubmed-Cochrane
1990-current) diagnostic and surgical treatments of post resection gastric
strictures.
