The impressive breakthrough in laparoscopic surgery has pushed surgeons to perform gastric resection through such an approach. Laparoscopy reduces the surgical stress and the postoperative pain and has a positive impact on the rehabilitation time, the hospital stay, and return to work and social activities. Laparoscopic partial gastrectomy for benign diseases and for palliation has been accepted as an effective surgical option: they are reproducible operations performed worldwide at a more and more rapid pace. Laparoscopic gastric resections and laparoscopically assisted gastric resections for malignancy deserve a word of caution. Nevertheless, the investigators report their series of laparoscopic subtotal and distal gastrectomies for cancer with medium and long-term results comparable with those of open surgery. Furthermore, new and less invasive surgical options have been recently introduced. Full and partial thickness local resections may be accomplished through intragastric procedures, for treatment of small benign tumors and early stage gastric cancer.
