Popis: Highlights • The diagnosis of rare gastric lesions has become more frequent after the increase in bariatric surgery. • The preoperative evaluation for bariatric surgery showed two lesions suggestive of Gastric Ectopic Pancreas. • The previous identification of these lesions provides better surgical planning. • Intraoperative Upper Endoscopy was used to identify the location of these lesions. • Simultaneous laparoscopic resection of the lesions associated with Sleeve Gastrectomy was performed.
Background The diagnosis of gastric lesions, such as the Ectopic Gastric Pancreas (GEP), has become more frequent after the increase in bariatric surgeries. The most frequently used surgical options are: Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB). The scientific papers about GEP in Bariatric Surgery consisted of intraoperative findings, approach the lesion with gastrectomy and the need to change the initial surgical strategy of the Sleeve for others techniques which allow extended gastric resections. Presentation of case This is a report on a 21-year-old female patient with class 3 obesity whose preoperative evaluation showed two lesions suggestive of GEP. Simultaneous surgical video-laparoscopic treatment of lesions associated with SG aided by intraoperative Upper Endoscopy (UE) was performed with no perioperative complications. Conclusion It is possible to associate the treatment of rare gastric lesions with traditional surgery techniques for obesity.
