Core Tip	Survival after surgery for small, low-risk, gastric stromal tumors is excellent, with few perioperative complications and infrequent recurrences. Minimally invasive surgical approaches, such as laparoscopy, robotics, and endoscopy, should provide optimal clinical outcomes while maintaining oncologic adequacy. Although all of these methods have several strengths and limitations, instrument availability, clinical expertise, and need to preserve oncologic parameters play a crucial role in the choice of one over another.
