Wedge resection of duodenal gist, located on second portion of duodenum. Is it safe? A case report Wedge resection of duodenal gist

Abstract

The most common location of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) in the digestive system is the stomach with a rate of 50-70% and they are only seen in the duodenum at a rate of 3-5%. Due to the complex anatomical structure and localization of the duodenum, it is a region where complications are more common in surgical treatment compared to other localizations of the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, a 56-year-old male patient who underwent wedge resection in a case of GIST located in the 2nd part of the duodenum is presented.
