Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs): Single Center Experience Observed in a Small Series of Cases
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms developing in the stomach. Usually detected incidentally, they can be single or multiple. The aim of this study is to report the results of surgery in the treatment of GISTs in terms of postoperative morbidity (POM) an...

The preoperative study consisted in general diagnostic tests, endoscopy and abdominal CT-Scan. The outcome variable was POM, measured at 30 days postoperatively.
