Zusammenfassung:A case of bleeding gastric polyp in an elderly woman with compromised respiratory function was treated successfully as an emergency by the gasless laparoscopic technique after endoscopic means failed to control the bleeding. The application of laparoscopic mechanical stapling devices allows rapid gastrotomy and resection, with simultaneous hemostasis that is beneficial in acute bleeding condition. The use of gasless laparoscopy also allows continuous suction to be applied for identification of the bleeding pathology and it also reduces the risk of pneumoperitoneum in patients with poor cardiorespiratory reserve. The operative approach and technique are fully discussed.
