Core Tip	This study compared the efficacy of endoscopic and laparoscopic resection for localized gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (LGISTs) using propensity score matching to control for baseline bias. Endoscopic resection was found to be superior in terms of reduced operation time, blood loss, and postoperative hospital stay, while achieving comparable mid-term oncological outcomes (3-year recurrence-free survival and overall survival) to laparoscopic resection. Tumor size, mitotic count, and National Institutes of Health risk stratification were key factors affecting prognosis, and the surgical approach had no direct influence on recurrence risk. The study provides evidence-based support for “prioritizing minimally invasive endoscopic treatment for carefully selected LGIST patients”.
