Abstract: (990 Views)
Background: Among mesenchymal tumors arising in the gastrointestinal tract, gastrointestinal stromal tumors are the most common. GISTs that do not have metastatic spread are treated surgically. Our case report aims to describe a newer & less invasive approach for resection of GISTs & early gastrointestinal tumors.
Case Presentation: An Iranian woman 41 years old with stomach stromal tumor is presented. Her complaint was minor epigastric discomfort. Tumor en-bloc resection was performed using a hybrid endoscopic-laparoscopic approach. She was doing very well & discharged the day after the operation.
Conclusion: GISTs and early gastrointestinal tumors can be treated with hybrid endoscopic and laparoscopic en-bloc resections instead of invasive surgery.
