Description
Huan Nguyen Ngoc and Ly Pham Quoc Hau report an endoscopic stent used to treat an anastomotic leak after proximal gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Their 2024 case report deals with a complication that carries high rates of illness and death.
The patient was a 57-year-old man with Siewert type II esophageal cardia cancer. After laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with a double tract reconstruction, he developed an anastomotic leak and mediastinitis. On the third day he had major respiratory distress and spat milky sputum. Since the fistula was not healing, a fully covered self-expanding metal stent was placed by endoscopy on the eleventh day.
