Core Tip

Core Tip: Endoscopic treatment including stent deployment, clipping or fibrin glue is considered as a safe and effective treatment options for anastomotic leakage after gastrectomy. We successfully treated esophago-gastric anastomotic leakage with endoscopic salvage treatment of add-on histoacryl after fully covered self-expandable esophageal metal stent (fc-SEMS). Histoacryl injection after fc-SEMS application on the anastomotic leak should be considered as treatment option.
