Laparoscopic resection for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor at the esophagogastric junction: feasibility and long-term results

Key Points

• Long-term results indicate positive outcomes for patients undergoing laparoscopic resection of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
• The feasibility of laparoscopic techniques shows lower morbidity and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
• Observational analysis across multiple centers illustrates the effectiveness of this minimally invasive approach.
• Successful long-term outcomes highlight the potential for laparoscopic resection in managing esophagogastric junction tumors.
