Hybrid Endoscopic-Laparoscopic Transgastric Resection of Gastric Subepithelial Tumor Daniel Jones Eran Sclomovitz 10.25373/ctsnet.7817801.v1 https://ctsnet.figshare.com/articles/media/Hybrid_Endoscopic-Laparoscopic_Transgastric_Resection_of_Gastric_Subepithelial_Tumor/7817801 Management of subepithelial prepyloric gastric masses often necessitates complex surgeries, including wedge resections or a formal distal gastrectomy. With the high rate of morbidity and mortality, minimally invasive techniques to treat gastric tumors are gaining acceptance.<div>The authors present a case of a combined endoscopic and laparoscopic transgastric full-thickness resection of a prepyloric subepithelial gastric mass. They attempt to demonstrate the safety of this technique and the possibility of performing a complete and full-thickness resection, while sparing a formal resection of the distal stomach. The video highlights a unique combination of endoscopic and laparoscopic skills.</div><div><p><strong>Suggested Reading</strong></p><ol><li>Voltaggio L, Montgomery EA.
