Core Tip	Laparoscopy is now increasingly being used in cases of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). While technically possible to resect these tumors laparoscopically, there has been concern that the oncologic outcomes for these patients could be compromised for tumors greater than 5 cm in size. This review, summarizing the data from several studies, demonstrates that a proper oncologic resection can be achieved laparoscopically, even for larger GISTs.
