Background and aimGastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Previous studies have addressed the safety and feasibility of endoscopic band ligation (EBL) for the treatment of small gastric GISTs. However, published reports comparing EBL with other interventions are limited. This current study evaluates the efficacy of EBL and compares EBL to both endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and laparoscopic resection (LAP) for small gastric GISTs less than 15 mm.
