RESUMEN

Re-laparotomy with resection of the mesh after abdominal incisional hernia repair may cause recurrence of the hernia and infection of the mesh. In the present study, we performed laparoscopic distal gastrectomy(LDG)for early gastric cancer without the resection of the mesh in such a case. A 82-year-old man who had undergone abdominal vascular replacement, cholecystectomy, abdominal incisional hernia repair with the mesh, sigmoidectomy had local recurrence of gastric cancer after endoscopic submucosal resection. We diagnosed as cStage IA and performed LDG without resection of the mesh. He had no recurrence of hernia nor infection of the mesh. Minimizing damage to the abdominal wall by laparoscopic surgery can prevent them.
