    This study analyzed 55 cases of laparoscopic surgery for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) at St. Marianna University Hospital.

  • 2

    Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) was introduced in 2014 and became the standard procedure for certain tumor types.

  • 3

    Surgical techniques were tailored based on tumor size and location, with specific methods recommended for intraluminal and extraluminal tumors.

  • 4

    The mean tumor size was larger in the non-LECS group compared to the LECS group, indicating different surgical approaches based on tumor characteristics.

  • 5

    Statistical analysis revealed significant differences in preoperative diagnosis rates of GIST between the non-LECS and LECS groups.
