U-SELs may be effectively and safely treated by endoscopic resection. The SAFE approach provides a framework that facilitates structured decision-making. Oesophageal U-SELs suspected to involve the MP should undergo STER. Gastric SELs can be best managed by ESD with a view to proceed to exposing-EFTR. A laparoscopic UGI surgeon should be available in case surgical retrieval of the specimen or laparoscopic completion is required.
