A Comparison of Endoscopic Closure and Laparoscopic Repair for Gastric Wall Defection

Figure 1

Endoscopic full-thickness resection and endoscopic closure procedure. (a) Endoscopic findings: a mucosal elevation was observed on the anterior wall of the middle gastric body, with a smooth surface. (b, c) Endoscopic full-thickness resection procedure: submucosal injection of normal saline+indigo carmine, incision of the edge with a dual knife, and gradual dissection with a dual knife. (d–g) Endoscopic closure procedure: there was no bleeding after the intraoperative bleeding was stopped by coagulation forceps, and the wound was sutured by purse-string suture. (h) Gastric submucosal tumour presentation.
