Clinical Trial Summary

Endoscopic negative pressure therapy (ENPT) is a safe technique, showing promising results in the treatment of leakages of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of ENPT in the management of proximal staple line leak after sleeve gastrectomy.

Description:

Clinical data of 40 cases of post-SG proximal staple line leak treated with ENPT are analysed. Success is defined as resolution of the fistula with no further need for intervention (surgical or endoscopic).
