Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic value of endoscopic band ligation in gastric stromal tumors.Methods Twenty-nine patients with small gastric stromal tumors(diameter<12mm)underwent endoscopic band ligation,and were followed up with routine endoscopy and EUS.Results Twentyeight patients recovered completely,with the surface healing up 4-6 weeks(average 4.8 weeks)thereafter.The neoplasm did not slough off in one patient,so he underwent a second ligation.Hemorrhage occurred in one patient three days after ligation,but was successfully managed with hemoclips.Other patients showed no complications.All the patients were followed up for 36 to 51 months,and there was one case of recurrence.Conclusion Endoscopic band ligation is an effective and safe treatment for small GISTs of less than 12 mm.
