Abstract
Introduction Eso-SPONGE® has proved to be an excellent method for the treatment of persistent dehiscence of the intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis during the operation of subtotal esophagectomy sec. Ivor Lewis. Clinical case presentation The case presented is of a 72-year-old patient with esophageal adenocarcinoma (ADK) who underwent sub-total esophagectomy and esophagoplasty sec. Ivor Lewis complicated by an esophageal leak. The Eso-SPONGE® therapy has been successful halving the index of inflammation after the first two sessions and generation of a neowall after seven sessions. Discussion Eso-SPONGE® therapy has proven to be a valuable resource as a treatment for esophageal anastomotic dehiscences because it is easily repeatable in suburban centers, provided that they have a digestive endoscopy specialized in the positioning process. Conclusions Eso-SPONGE® is a minimally invasive method that delivers excellent results in the treatment of fragile patients, such as those who have post-esophageal anastomotic dehiscence.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
