Core Tip
Core Tip: Gastrojejunostomy leakage post-Whipple procedure, although rare, presents significant management challenges. This case highlights the successful endoscopic application of titanium clips to close leakage in a 71-year-old patient, marking a novel approach for treating such complications. Typically managed through surgery or percutaneous drainage with an 84% success rate, this report introduces endoscopy as a viable and less invasive option. Early intervention and adoption of such innovative techniques could potentially enhance recovery outcomes, emphasizing the importance of considering endoscopic treatment in similar clinical scenarios.
