Endoscopic super-minimally invasive vs laparoscopic wedge resection for muscularis-propria-originating extraluminal gastric tumors: Efficacy and selection

Figure 1 Characteristics of extraluminal-growing gastric tumors originating from the muscularis propria layer. A: Long-axis diameter size; B: Location; C: Pathological types; D: National Institutes of Health risk category of gastrointestinal stromal tumor. EFR: Endoscopic full-thickness resection; STER: Submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection.

A: Change in hemoglobin levels from preoperative values; B: Postoperative white blood cell level; C: Postoperative neutrophil level; D: Postoperative C-reactive protein level; E: Change in alanine aminotransferase levels from preoperative values; F: Change in aspartate aminotransferase levels from preoperative values. EFR: Endoscopic full-thickness resection; STER: Submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection.
