Abstrakt: A 75-year-old male who underwent an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy due to a distal adenocarcinoma had a leak at the gastroplasty on the 5th day after surgery, which required two surgeries and a primary suture. He was transferred to our hospital due to a poor outcome and endoscopy revealed a 2.5cm gap perianastomotically on the gastroplasty wall, for which a stent was placed. Due to hemodynamic impairment, a thoracotomy procedure was performed, which revealed stent protrusion into the cavity. The patient underwent an esophagogastric anastomosis resection, cervical esophagostomy and gastrostomy. Sepsis was resolved postoperatively and the patient had a protracted stay in the PACU due to poor respiratory dynamics following a prolonged intubation.
