Core Tip	The laparoscopic approach for gastric sub?mucosal tumors (GSTs) depends on the cha?racteristics of the submucosal tumors including its location or size. In particular, GSTs located close to the esophagogastric junction or pyloric ring cannot be easily applied the laparoscopic local resection. Therefore, the intragastric approach is adopted for those tumors. This review evaluates the technique and outcomes of the intragastric resection for GSTs using laparoscopy and oral endoscopy. Intragastric surgery using laparoscopy and oral endoscopy can be considerably beneficial for patients with GSTs less than 5 cm in diameter and locating in the upper third of the stomach.
