Objective  To investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic operation of gastric and gastroesophageal junction diseases.
Methods  Between May 2004 and June 2009, 59 patients with gastric and gastroesophageal diseases were treated laparoscopically. The operative methods and maneuvers were evaluated and perioperative interventions, complications and efficacy of patients were analyzed.
Results  All operations were successfully completed laparoscopically except for one patient with gastric cancer who required a conversion to open surgery. No short-term complications occurred in all cases. No port transplant metastasis occurred for the patients with gastric cancer after an average of 36 months (1-60 months) follow-up. One patient died of liver metastasis 12 months after operation. The 3-year survival rate was 93.3% (14/15). Conclusion  Laparoscopic surgery of the gastric and gastroesophageal junction diseases is feasible and safe with minimal invasiveness, which is worth popularizing.
