Clinical outcomes of endoscopic versus laparoscopic resection for senile patients with gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumours (2 to 4 cm) originating from the muscularis propria layer

Our results showed that ER was a more feasible treatment approach than LR when the gastric MP-GIST was located in or near the cardia/pylorus. ER also had several other advantages over LR, such as a shorter procedure time, shorter hospital stay, and lower hospitalization costs.
