Study ID: NCT02764944

Conditions

Submucosal Tumor of Stomach

Interventions

simple non-exposure EFTR

Study Description

Brief Summary: This study evaluates the feasibility of endo-laparoscopic full-thickness resection with simple suturing technique which did not expose gastric mucosa to peritoneum (simple non-exposure EFTR) in patients with gastric tumor.

Detailed Description: Current endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) methods are limited by their transmural communication and exposure of tumor to peritoneum. Recently, endo-laparoscopic full-thickness resection with simple suturing technique which did not expose gastric mucosa to peritoneum (simple non-exposure EFTR) was developed. This new technique includes the steps of laparoscopic seromuscular suturing with a barbed suture thread (V-Loc), which results in inversion of the stomach wall; EFTR of the inverted stomach wall from inside the stomach; and finally, endoscopic mucosal suturing with endoloops and clips. This study evaluates the feasibility of simple non-exposure EFTR technique in patients with gastric tumor. This study is single arm study and will be performed in single center.
