Thoracoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery for esophageal gastrointestinal stromal tumor: a case report
The appropriate surgical procedure for esophageal GIST should be considered according to the location and size of the lesion. TECS ensures that the resection margins are secured using an endoscopic or thoracoscopic approach. Furthermore, TECS is minimally invasive, avoiding esophagectomy and reconstruction, which makes it a potential surgical option for esophageal GISTs.
