Amarjothi JMV, Villalan R, Jeyasudhahar J, Babu OLN. Management of submucosal posterior gastric GIST by endoscopic assisted laparoscopic wedge gastrectomy - A modification of classical laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery. Edorium J Surg 2019;6:100035S05JA2019.ABSTRACT
Laparoscopy and endoscopy can be used in tandem for tumors in difficult locations like submucosal gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) in the posterior wall of the stomach. This combined approach ensures accurate localization of the tumors resulting in negative margins which would be much difficult to obtain by conventional laparoscopic approach alone. Endoscopic localization of tumor helps not only in accurate localization but also in observing for staple line integrity. The aim of the article is to show the use of both techniques in the management of submucosal GIST in a difficult location like posterior gastric wall.
