| Abstract [eng] |
One (6.67 %) patient came after 1 year with IV° dysphagia. We performed laparotomy to remove the stent and a new anastomosis to treat stenosis. Six (40 %) stents were removed during endoscopic procedures without residual leaks on average after 47 days (range 29–127 days). Conclusions Silicon-covered self-expanding stent is an effective method of occluding postoperative esophagogastrostomy/esophagoenterostomy leaks. In 11 (73.3 %) of 15 patients, the condition improved because of accelerated healing of infectious complications. 6 (54.5 %) of 11 patients could begin eating next day after the procedure. There were only 2 (13.3 %) stent implantation-related complications. After 6 months and later in good condition 4 (26.67 %) patients had a surgical intervention for the final correction of fistulas-caused complications. |
