SUBMUCOSAL TUNNELING ENDOSCOPIC RESECTION (STER) WITH BIDIRECTIONAL FULL THICKNESS RESECTION OF GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMOR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection with bidirectional full-thickness resection for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), the most common neoplastic subepithelial lesion of the GI tract. Endoscopic resection techniques, including full-thickness resection, are used for localized GIST treatment. A case study of a 63-year-old male with a suspicious GIST lesion along the stomach's greater curvature is detailed. The endoscopic procedure successfully removed the exophytic GIST lesion with minimal risks. Bidirectional full-thickness resection offers a safe and effective option for complete subepithelial tumor removal, reducing the risk of injury and hemorrhage.
