PURPOSE: Definitive surgical treatment of gastric @entity5 such as @entity674 ( @entity674 ) typically involves full-thickness resection of the lesion with normal gastric wall as the margin. This is not readily possible with proximal gastric lesions near the gastroesophageal junction, nor necessary for small incidental lesions. We have employed a combined endoscopic/laparoscopic intraluminal enucleation technique for selected @entity1 and report long-term surveillance following this novel technique. METHODS: Retrospective review of @entity1 who have undergone intraluminal laparoscopic resection from 1994 to 2008. RESULTS: Fifteen @entity1 who underwent intraluminal enucleation were followed up for a median of 61  months. There were eight @entity1 and seven @entity1 with a mean age of 62.1      3.38  years. Eight @entity1 (53  %) underwent endoscopy for @entity360 , six for @entity2210 (40  %), six for @entity417 (40  %), and four for @entity490 (27  %). Eight lesions (53  %) were located in the fundus/ @entity418 : six (40  %) in the body and two (13  %) in the antrum. The mean @entity5 size was 3.5      0.45 (1.5-7.0) cm. @entity75 with benign histologic features predominated. All operations were successfully completed, including full-thickness resections with no conversion to open procedure, major morbidity, or mortality. @entity1939 was accomplished in 14 @entity1 with no local or distant recurrence and no symptomatic follow-up in any @entity1 . CONCLUSION: Enucleation of intact @entity674 can be accomplished with low risk of recurrence when done with a combined endoscopic/laparoscopic intraluminal technique. It should be the preferred approach considered for small, proximal, intraluminal @entity5 .
