Gastric submucosal tumors (G-SMTs), such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), often arise from the muscularis propria, which consists of at least two layers (inner circle and outer longitudinal muscle). Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery or endoscopic resection has been performed for G-SMTs1-5 However, these procedures require closure of the gastric-wall.
