This novel technique improves closure of perforation wounds in exophytic gastrointestinal stromal tumors during endoscopic resection, suggesting enhanced safety.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal gastrointestinal tumors with malignant potential [1] [2]. Endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) is the primary treatment for exophytic GISTs [3] [4]. However, there are problems such as large perforation wounds, long exposure time, leading to abdominal cavity contamination and difficulty in suturing. We first proposed a novel synchronous closure technique during EFTR for exophytic GISTs ([Video 1]).
