^bP < 0.01 vs“postoperative” and “other chronic leaks and fistulas”.

¹Three patients underwent surgery, however, leak was found to be closed by over-the-scope clip (OTSC);

²One patient underwent surgery, however, leak was found to be closed by OTSC;

³ Unintended closure of small bowel lumen by OTSC in two cases;

⁴One esophageal perforation, one patient died after delayed operation of colonic perforation with OTSC detached.
