Core Tip	We used endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFR) to remove gastric stromal tumors arising from the muscularis propria. Out of 62 gastric stromal tumors, each > 1.5 cm in diameter, we found that the 32 gastric stromal tumors treated by EFR and the 30 treated by laparoscopic surgery showed similar operative time and complete resection rate. None of the patients treated by EFR experienced complications, whereas two patients treated by laparoscopy required a conversion to laparotomy and one patient had postoperative gastroparesis. No recurrences were observed in either group. EFR could replace certain surgical or laparoscopic procedures for the removal of gastric stromal tumors.
