Management of an Esojejunal Intrathoracic Leak Using an Endoscopic Vacuum-assisted Closure Technique

Gabriele Barabino et al. Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech. 2017 Jun.

Abstract

Management of intrathoracic anastomotic leaks remains an important clinical challenge. We describe a case about a patient with intrathoracic esophageal anastomotic leaks after oesogastrectomy. Ndoscopic Vacuum-assisted closure technique today is an effective alternative in the treatment of anastomotic leaks after upper gastrointestinal tract surgery.
