Transgastric submucosal excision of small- to medium-sized gastrointestinal stromal tumours by pure minimally invasive approach

Conclusion: We conclude that a single and common approach of transgastric submucosal excision of small- to medium-sized stromal tumours with 1 cm margin having different locations in upper two-third of stomach, by pure minimally invasive approach, has a better outcome and brings a uniformity in laparoscopic management of GIST.
