Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the use of laparoscopic-endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) for the removal of a gastric stromal tumor. The endoscopist plays a crucial role in the procedure, initially attempting to pull out the migrated tumor using biopsy forceps. After repositioning, the endoscopist highlights the borders of the lesion through translumination. The tumor area is marked, and the endoscopist starts with a circumferential incision using a dual knife. The surgeon ligates the feeding vessels, and the endoscopist creates a perforation for the laparoscopic dissection. The tumor is dissected, securely placed in a retrieval bag, and the defect is closed with suturing. LEX offers benefits such as reduced surgical trauma and faster recovery for the patient.
