Abstract
Endoscopic management of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is challenging because of possible unmanageable perforation. Submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) can maintain the mucosal flap to facilitate wound closure [1]. To maintain the serosa, endoscopic subserosa dissection can prevent air leakage [2]. Both require precise endoscopic dissection to preserve mucosa or serosa and are only feasible in favorable endoscopic anatomy. If the large perforation can be managed confidently, we can do whole-layer resection directly [3].
