The final diagnosis was Ra, Rb rectal cancer with ypT3ypN0M0, ypStage Ⅱa.In this study, we compared the outcomes of laparoscopic gastrectomy and open gastrectomy in the elderly. Laparoscopic surgery was comparable to laparotomy in terms of the operation time and number of lymph node dissections and was significantly associated with less bleeding volume, duration of postoperative hospital stay, and a lower postoperative complication rate. Surgical invasion and overall risk scores were significantly low as assessed by the Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress(E-PASS)system. Based on these findings, laparoscopic gastrectomy can be considered to be superior to open gastrectomy as a surgical technique for the elderly.Gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST)is rarely accompanied by lymph node metastasis. Therefore, partial gastrectomy generally proceeds with good indication for laparoscopic surgery. However, surgical procedures can be complicated by the tumor location or growth type. Furthermore, laparoscopy and endoscopy cooperative surgery(LECS)has recently been developed, with good results. In this study, we aimed at determining the applicability of various types of laparoscopic surgery to gastric GIST based on the tumor location and growth type. Between 2005 and 2020, 52 patients underwent surgery for preoperatively suspected or pathologically confirmed GIST. Tumors were found in the upper, middle, and lower portions of the stomach of 32, 16 and 4 patients, respectively. The types of tumor growth were intraluminal, extraluminal, and mixed for 21, 14, and 17 patients, respectively. The surgical procedures were open and laparoscopic for 26 patients each. After the laparoscopic surgery, the surgical duration, blood loss, and tumor size were significantly lower, while the
