BACKGROUND: Endoscopic resection, including endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) and endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFR), was used to resect small gastric submucosal tumors (SMTs). Our team explored a method of tumor traction using a snare combined with endoclips to assist in the resection of SMTs. This study aims to explore the safety and effectiveness of the method. METHODS: This research performed a propensity-score-matching (PSM) analysis to compare ESD/EFR assisted by a snare combined with endoclips (ESD/EFR with snare traction) with conventional ESD/EFR for the resection of gastric SMTs. Comparisons were made between the two groups, including operative time, en bloc resection rate, perioperative complications, and operation-related costs. RESULTS: A total of 253 patients with gastric SMTs resected between January 2012 and March 2019 were included in this study. PSM yielded 51 matched pairs. No significant differences were identified between the two groups in perioperative complications or the costs of disposable endoscopic surgical accessories. However, the ESD/EFR-with-snare-traction group had a shorter median operative time (39 vs 60 min, P = 0.005) and lower rate of en bloc resection (88.2% vs 100%, P = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS: ESD/EFR with snare traction demonstrated a higher efficiency and en bloc resection rate for gastric SMTs, with no increases in perioperative complications and the costs of endoscopic surgical accessories. Therefore, the method seems an appropriate choice for the resection of gastric SMTs.
