Gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are rare neoplasms that require excision for cure. Although the feasibility of laparoscopic resection of smaller gastric GIST has been established, the feasibility and long-term efficacy of these techniques are unclear in larger lesions. This study is done to assess the feasibility of the laparoscopic resection of gastric GISTs and their long-term outcomes.
