All papers submitted to Gut and Liver are reviewed by the editorial team before being sent out for an external peer review to rule out papers that have low priority, insufficient originality, scientific flaws, or the absence of a message of importance to the readers of the Journal. A decision about these papers will usually be made within two or three weeks.
The remaining articles are usually sent to two reviewers. It would be very helpful if you could suggest a selection of reviewers and include their contact details. We may not always use the reviewers you recommend, but suggesting reviewers will make our reviewer database much richer; in the end, everyone will benefit. We reserve the right to return manuscripts in which no reviewers are suggested.
The final responsibility for the decision to accept or reject lies with the editors. In many cases, papers may be rejected despite favorable reviews because of editorial policy or a lack of space. The editor retains the right to determine publication priorities, the style of the paper, and to request, if necessary, that the material submitted be shortened for publication.

Surgical resection is the mainstay treatment for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Laparoscopic surgery can be considered for treating these tumors since their biologic behavior lends them to curative resection without requiring large margins or extensive lymphadenectomy. Despite complete resection, GISTs frequently recur specifically in the liver and peritoneum. Although they occur in other upper gastrointestinal malignancies, recurrences of GISTs at the port sites after laparoscopic surgery have rarely been reported. We describe here a patient with abdominal wound metastasis after laparoscopic surgery for GIST. (Gut Liver 2010;4:283-286)
