In 16 of the 44 patients (36,4%) was wedged gastric resection, in 13 patients (29,6%) total gastrectomy, in 9 patients (24,4%) subtotal gastrectomy and in 6 patients (13,6%) and esophagectomy was performed. No intraoperative complications were present. Eight patients had any postoperative complication (18,2%). The average hospital stay was 7,5 days.
