Abstract

An 85-year-old man was referred to our hospital for anemia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed 6 malignant gastric lesions. Abdominal CT showed a primary tumor. We treated early gastric cancer at the upper stomach with endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)to avoid total gastrectomy. We then performed laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy with a very small remnant stomach. In elderly patients with multiple gastric cancer, it is useful to combine ESD with laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy with a very small remnant stomach.
