Rescue endoscopic treatment with completion by radical surgery following misplacement of a partially covered metal stent in an anastomotic fistula post-Lewis Santy esophagectomy.
(en) Curative management of esophageal adenocarcinoma is based on esophagectomy. One of the main complications is anastomotic fistula (30%), which is responsible for significant postoperative morbidity and mortality, as well as reduced survival. In recent years, endoscopic treatment of anastomotic fistulas has become a valuable option, enabling closure of the fistula and a reduction in the mortality rate. [...]
