Laparoscopic Versus Open Resection for Gastric Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs): A Size–Location-Matched Case–Control Study

Summary:Background Laparoscopic resection for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is technically feasible, but the long-term effect remains uncertain. This study aims to compare the long-term oncologic outcomes of laparoscopic versus open resection of GISTs by larger cases based on tumor size–location-matched study. Methods Between 2006 and 2015, 63 consecutive patients with a primary gastric GIST undergoing laparoscopic resection were enrolled in and matched (1:1) to patients undergoing open resection by tumor size and location. Clinical and pathologic parameters and surgical outcomes associated with each surgical type were collected and compared. Results The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, return of bowel function and oral intake, nasogastric tube retention time and postoperative stay were all shorter/faster in laparoscopic group than those in open group ( P
