Endoscopic management of gastrointestinal leaks and fistulae: What option do we have?

Abstract: Gastrointestinal leaks and fistulae are serious, potentially life threatening conditions that may occur with a wide variety of clinical presentations. Leaks are mostly related to post-operative anastomotic defects and are responsible for an important share of surgical morbidity and mortality. Chronic leaks and long standing post-operative collections may evolve in a fistula between two epithelialized structures. Endoscopy has earned a pivotal role in the management of gastrointestinal defects both as first lin… Show more

“…Gastrointestinal fistulas (GIF) represent a serious complication of the surgical processes, and bear a high risk of hydroelectrolyte disorders, sepsis, malnutrition and death. [1][2] Hence, with repercussions of GIF known, timely recognition, accurate diagnosis (integrating criteria on the spontaneous closure-also read as conservative | non-surgical-of the GIF); and adoption of the required measures for hydroelectrolyte repletion, nutritional support and containment of sepsis are imperative for a better prognosis of GIF.…”

“…TTS clips that pass through the endoscope working channel are widely available therapeutic devices that have been used to close GI defects for decades. [19][20][21][22] Most TTS clips are compatible with standard upper endoscopes and colonoscopes and their application requires minimal therapeutic endoscopic skill. Additionally, because they pass through the working channel of the endoscope, one does not need to remove the endoscope to affix a closure device to the distal tip of the endoscope (and subsequently readvance to the area of the ECF).…”

“…Dependiendo de la magnitud de la fístula y el estado clínico del paciente, dentro de las actuales alternativas de manejo existen opciones conservadoras que incluyen nutrición parenteral o enteral distal a la fuga, drenaje abdominal y cubrimiento antibiótico, hasta técnicas mínimamente invasivas como o el manejo endoscópico con o sin drenaje o invasivas como la re-intervención quirúrgica (8,9). Durante la última década, los enfoques no quirúrgicos han tenido un mayor impacto en el tratamiento de defectos gastrointestinales superiores.…”
