Laparoscopic resection for high-risk gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors: safety and oncological outcome

Key Points

• Laparoscopic resection shows favorable oncological outcomes in high-risk gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors, improving safety.
• A notable reduction in tumor recurrence was observed, with a 24-month follow-up period revealing significant findings.
• Assessment of surgical outcomes indicated that laparoscopic techniques provide lower morbidity rates compared to open surgery.
• This approach highlights the need for further studies to confirm long-term effects and implications for broader clinical applications.
