Background: Laparoscopic resections for submucosal tumors (SMTs) of the stomach have been developed rapidly over the past decade. Several types of laparoscopic methods for gastric SMTs have been created. We assessed the short-term outcomes of two commonly used types of laparoscopic local resection (LLR) for gastric SMTs and reported our findings.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological results of 266 patients with gastric SMTs whom underwent LLR between January 2006 and September 2016. 228 of these underwent laparoscopic exogastric wedge resection (LEWR), the remaining 38 patients with the tumors near the esophagogastric junction (EGJ) or antrum underwent laparoscopic transgastric resection (LTR).
Results: All the patients underwent laparoscopic resections successfully. The mean operation times of LEWR and LTR were 90.2 ± 37.2 min and 101.7 ± 38.5 min respectively. The postoperative length of hospital stays for LEWR and LTR were 5.1 ± 2.1 days and 5.3 ± 1.7 days respectively. There was a low complication rate (4.4%) and zero mortality in our series.
Conclusion: ELWR is technically feasible therapy of gastric SMTs. LTR is secure and effective for gastric intraluminal SMTs located near the EGJ or antrum.

Objectives: Endoscopic resection of gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs) possesses minimal trauma, expedited recovery, and reduced costs. Nonetheless, intraoperative challenges, including imprecise surgical risk assessment, prevail. Hence, we investigated the correlation between preoperative CT observation features and perioperative parameters for predicting outcomes in SMT patients.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two techniques, endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic band electrocision ligation (EEL), for removing small gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs).
- It analyzed data from 130 patients, revealing that EEL resulted in significantly shorter surgery times, lower costs, and less blood loss compared to ESD, with no major differences in hospital stays or complications afterward.
- Ultimately, the study concluded that EEL is a more efficient and cost-effective method for treating SMTs under 10 mm than ESD, making it a valuable option in clinical settings.
Article Synopsis
- A multicenter study assessed the safety and mid-term outcomes of classical laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) for treating gastric submucosal tumors (G-SMTs) following national health insurance coverage.
- The study involved 201 patients across 21 institutions from April 2014 to March 2016, identifying classical LECS as the most common procedure performed, with a good resection rate and manageable complications.
- Results indicated that while most surgeries had favorable outcomes, postoperative complications occurred in 5% of cases, emphasizing the general effectiveness of these methods in clinical practice.

Background: Extragastric lesions are typically not misdiagnosed as gastric submucosal tumor (SMT). However, we encountered two rare cases where extrinsic lesions were misdiagnosed as gastric SMTs.
Case Summary: We describe two cases of gastric SMT-like protrusions initially misdiagnosed as gastric SMTs by the abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS).
