Core Tip	Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) is a hybrid procedure combining both the laparoscope and endoscope, classically described for gastric submucosal tumor excision. With the advancing tools and technology, its application has been extended beyond the stomach to the small intestine and the colorectum. In the era of minimally invasive surgeries, LECS is fast advancing and is the need of the hour. Every surgeon and endoscopist must be aware of these newer options and bench on its future application in gastrointestinal surgeries.
