Can Incidental Gastric GISTs During Bariatric Surgeries Change the Primary Plan of Surgery? A Single Team Experience and a Systematic Review of Literature

202416 citationsOpen accessHelwan University

Abstract

As bariatric surgeries (BS) increase, more incidental findings are liable to be discovered. Incidental gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) during BS can be found in around 0.7% of the cases. In this article, we have performed a systematic review of the literature and added our data to those of the review to review a conceptual treatment strategy to both improve patient outcomes and decrease the risk of overall cancer. With the rise of new bariatric techniques, we have proposed a new classification to BS to enhance our description of the treatment strategy.
