Feasibility of laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery for gastric submucosal tumors (with video)

Laparoscopic gastric resection is widely used for gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs). However, it is difficult to determine an appropriate resection line using only the laparoscopic approach. We developed a laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) technique, by combining laparoscopic gastric resection with endoscopic submucosal dissection, and have used this procedure to resect gastric SMTs. The present study aimed to present this procedure and evaluate the safety and feasibility of this procedure for resecting gastric SMTs.
