Background: There is currently limited data to reassure the technical efficacy, particularly in attaining clear margins, through a transgastric laparo-endoscopic approach to resecting tumours located near the gastroesophageal junction (GOJ) or the pylorus.
Methods: Single institution retrospective analysis of all cases from 1 April 2008 to 31 Dec 2019.
Results: Overall, 34 patients (38 tumours) underwent transgastric laparo-endoscopic resection. Of these, 27 (71.1%) and 5 (14.7%) cases were located close to the GOJ and pylorus respectively. Three (8.0%) cases were converted to conventional laparoscopic excision. No anatomical gastric resection was required. The mean (SD) operative time was 167.5 (64.2) minutes and reduced with increasing experience. The median (IQR) length-of-stay was 3.0 (3.0-4.5) days. Major post-operative complication (Clavian-Dindo ≥3) occurred in 1 (2.9%) patient, which required surgical control of staple line bleeding. The most common pathology was gastrointestinal stromal tumour (71.1%), followed by leiomyoma (10.5%), schwannoma (5.2%), dysplastic polyp (5.2%), and neuroendocrine tumour (2.6%). The mean (SD) tumour diameter was 3.9 (2.1) cm (largest 10.1 cm, 10 cases >5 cm). Resection margins were clear in all cases. We found no evidence of tumour recurrence or gastric stenosis at a median follow-up of 88 months.
Conclusion: Transgastric laparo-endoscopic resection of junctional and pyloric tumours with low metastatic potential is technically feasible. This approach achieved clear resection margins in all our cases, with acceptable perioperative and longer-term outcomes.

A 63-year-old male presented to us with upper abdominal pain and odynophagia for 3 months. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen revealed hiatus hernia with ulceroproliferative growth involving the gastro-oesophageal (GE) junction and cardia of the stomach with no obvious transserosal extension. Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy was suggestive of a tumour of size 3 cm × 3 cm near the GE junction and sliding hiatus hernia.

Advances in laparoscopic surgery and therapeutic endoscopy have allowed these minimally destructive procedures to challenge conventional surgery. Because of its theoretic advantages and technical feasibility, laparoendoscopic full-thickness resection is considered to be the most appropriate option for subepithelial tumor removal. Furthermore, combination of laparoscopic and endoscopic approaches for treatment of neoplasia can be important maneuvers for gastric cancer resection without contamination of the peritoneal cavity if the sentinel lymph node concept is established.

Background: Current surgical methods for partial gastric full-thickness resections (FTRs) are limited by long operative times and risk of gastric content spillage, especially for lesions located at the posterior wall. We propose a simplified hybrid approach to FTR with reduced risk of spillage.
Methods: Resection margins were marked by endoscopic electrocautery to simulate a gastric lesion in the upper third of the posterior wall in eight pigs.

Background: Gastric neoplasms can be treated by laparoscopy in a safe and efficient way. Some lesions are not accessible to laparoscopic surgery due to their location. A transgastric approach is proposed as an alternative.
