This trial is studying whether laparoscopic resection—a minimally invasive surgical technique using small incisions and a camera—works safely and effectively for removing larger stomach tumors called gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) that are 5 centimeters or bigger. Researchers want to compare outcomes in people with larger tumors to those with smaller ones, looking at how well patients recover and whether complications occur.
Currently, there isn't enough strong evidence showing whether this minimally invasive surgery technique is safe and effective for larger stomach tumors. By studying this carefully across multiple hospitals, doctors hope to learn whether the new treatment approach can help patients avoid bigger surgical incisions while still removing the tumor completely.

If you join this study, you would undergo the minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery to remove your stomach tumor, which your doctors have already determined is the right approach for you. Researchers would then carefully track your recovery and any side effects or complications you experience after surgery. The study involves no additional treatments beyond the standard surgical care; instead, doctors are simply collecting detailed information about how well this technique works for larger tumors compared to smaller ones.
