Gastric GISTs are rare neoplasms that require excision for cure. Although the feasibility of laparoscopic resection of gastric GIST less than 2cms has been established, the feasibility, safety and long-term efficacy of these techniques for larger lesions are unclear. Investigators hypothesized that laparoscopic resection of gastric GISTs even for larger lesions is feasible \& results in low perioperative morbidity and an effective long-term control of the disease.
