This article, published in the journal Endoscopy, presents cases and endoscopic treatment of anastomotic leaks after esophagectomy and gastrectomy. The study retrospectively recorded cases of leaks during the period of 2022-2023, with a total of 32 patients undergoing Ivor Lewis esophagectomy, 34 patients undergoing McKeown esophagectomy, and various other procedures. Anastomotic leakage was observed in 24 patients, and different treatment methods were used, including fully covered esophageal stent placement and endoscopic placement. The median time for leakage healing was 31 days, and the success rate was approximately 92.8%. The article concludes that the management of anastomotic leakage is complex and highlights the importance of gastroenterologists in its treatment. [Extracted from the article] |
