Core Tip

Core Tip: Minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (DGISTs) has made rapid progress. More and more cases of DGISTs treated by robotic surgery have been reported. The results of this study suggest that robotic resection of DGISTs is safe and effective, and can be carried out in experienced medical centres.
