Abstract: Minimally invasive endoscopic resection has been rapidly adopted as a new technique for treating patients with gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs) originating in the muscularis propria (MP) layer. This study was conducted to evaluate the information obtained from endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) to determine the appropriate endoscopic dissection method for treating SMTs originating in the MP layer. Between February 2014 and May 2016, a total of 50 patients with gastric SMTs originating in the MP layer were enrolled in this study. The clinical features of the patients and their endoscopic, EUS, and histopathologic findings, as well as their postoperative follow-up data, were analyzed in this retrospective study. The mean age of the patients was (55.0±10.2) years, and the male/female ratio was 17:33. endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was performed on 43 patients and an endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFR) was performed on seven patients. The most frequent location for an SMT was in the upper body region of the stomach (n=16), and the most common pathological diagnosis was a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) (n=32). The overall rates for complete resection were 95.3% (41/43) and 100.0% (7/7) when the SMTs were treated by ESD and EFR, respectively. The presence of a complete tumor capsule was significantly associated with a complete resection (P=0.001). Of the cases treated by ESD, nine patients developed perforation, one of whom required laparoscopic surgery. The remaining patients were closed with clips or purse-string sutures. The presence of an MP2-type tumor (P=0.018) and a wide connection with the MP layer (P=0.044) were significantly associated with perforation. A preoperative evaluation of the integrity and the location of a tumor capsule and the length of the tumor connection with the MP layer by EUS can improve the complete resection rate and reduce the occurrence of intraoperative complications. Tumors with a complete capsule originating from the superficial MP layer or with a narrow connection with the MP layer are appropriate candidates for treatment by ESD.
