Simultaneous Use of Laparoscopy and Endoscopy for Minimally Invasive Resection of Gastric Subepithelial Masses — Analysis of 93 Interventions

Abstract

Combined laparoscopic-endoscopic "rendez-vous" procedures are easy to perform and offer a curative approach for almost all gastric submucosal lesions. The technique is associated with low morbidity and short hospitalization. Though even patients with large GISTs of intermediate and high risk were treated, no tumor recurrence has been observed to date.
