Abstract: Minimal invasive Surgery defined as that method of a surgical

procedure which cause the least possible physical & mental trauma to the patient & achieving at least the same or better goal than conventional surgery.

Using the conventional method without advanced recent technology we can still do minimal trauma to the patient both physically & mentally.

Seven cases of GIT cancer has been presented as case review operated on by conventional method of minimal invasive surgery using no any new technology in the operative procedures.

Introduction: Minimal invasive surgery is a surgical innovation by using recent

technology & doing different kind of surgical procedures which were not possible in past by our conventional method.

Doing a surgical procedure at remote site from the patient by new technology has very great advantage compared to conventional surgery.

Disadvantages : It's not always available . It's coasty & not all countries can manage . It needs training, considerable time& maintenance of these

equipments is as costly as the equipments itself . Complication.

achieve the goal of minimal invasive surgery without using expensive technology & avoiding the limitations described in the practice of minimal invasive surgery above .

obstruction by corrosive agent has been reviewed with follow up of 3 years only .

Different modalities of treatment has been done for different patient varied from cure to palliation , specially in case of GIT cancer .

The new image technologies , had its great influence on our clinical setting& the modality of the remedies we choose for our cases in GIT center in Sulaimany .

Palliative surgery has been applied for advanced cases of GIT cancer by palliative resection in some cases , when clinical setting was in favor of that procedure .

In other cases more simple palliative procedure has been done like : bypass surgery .
