Gastric stromal tumors are solitary, usually asymptomatic, lesions that can bleed, become obstructive, or even degenerate into malignant neoplasms. Therefore, their surgical excision is recommended. We report a technique for the successful resection of a stromal tumor of the posterior gastric wall using a transgastric approach. After the creation of a 12 mmHg pneumoperitoneum using a three-trocar technique, a 2-cm gastrostomy was performed; an 18-mm trocar was then positioned in the gastric lumen and secured with a pursestring suture. Next, an intragastric wedge resection of the posterior gastric wall was carried out under endoscopic guidance. Finally, the anterior gastric wall was closed using a linear stapler. Histopathological analysis showed a benign spindle cell tumor, which was excised in toto. Patient recovery was uneventful. This report supports previous data showing the feasibility of a laparoscopic transgastric approach for the resection of stromal tumors of the posterior gastric wall. It also underscores the synergy of laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures in minimally invasive gastric surgery.
