Brief summary

In endoscopic treatment for gastric submucosal tumors arising from the muscularis propria, does robot-assisted surgery yield a higher serosa preservation rate, shorter operative time and lower complication rates than conventional endoscopic procedures?

Detailed description

For endoscopic treatment of gastric submucosal tumors originating from the muscularis propria, this study aims to explore whether robot-assisted therapy can improve serosa preservation rate, shorten operative time and reduce complications compared with conventional endoscopic surgery.

Interventions

After Marking and mucosal incision,Grasp the tumor or its pedicle with the robotic flexible arm, apply continuous and steady traction toward the luminal side to dynamically expose the anatomical space between the tumor capsule and normal muscular layer.

Inclusion criteria

1. Aged 18 to 80 years old; 2. Submucosal tumors originating from the muscularis propria of gastric fundus, highly suspected as gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) confirmed by endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT); 3. Tumor diameter ranging from 1.0 cm to 3.0 cm; 4. No active ulcer or bleeding on the lesion surface before operation; 5. American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status class I-III; 6. Voluntarily signed written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

1. Tumor adhesion to serosa with unclear interface shown on EUS; 2. High-risk GIST or distant metastasis indicated by imaging or endoscopy; 3. History of gastric surgery or radiotherapy; 4. High bleeding risk including coagulation disorders and patients unable to discontinue anticoagulant medications; 5. Pregnant or breastfeeding women; 6. Failure to cooperate with follow-up.

Postoperative fever rateWithin 7 days after surgeryPostoperative fever is defined as a body temperature ≥ 37.5 ℃ within 7 days after surgery. All febrile cases during this period are included, including non-infectious absorption fever.
Postoperative infectionWithin 30 days after surgeryPostoperative infection is diagnosed when body temperature reaches ≥ 38.5 ℃, or temperature ≥ 38.0 ℃ persists for more than 3 consecutive days starting from postoperative day 3. Diagnosis shall be confirmed by clinical symptoms, abnormal laboratory inflammatory indicators or positive microbial culture results. Simple absorption fever is excluded.
