- Abstract
Because wide resections and extensive lymphadenectomies are usually not required, the laparoscopic approach has been considered reasonable for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) of gastric origin and has been reported with increased frequency. However, its long-term oncologic outcome has not been fully assessed.
