| Core Tip |
Post-esophagectomy anastomotic leak is a severe complication with increased morbidity and high risk of mortality. Endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure has emerged as an effective first-line treatment for managing this condition. The therapy applies continuous negative pressure to promote granulation tissue and accelerate healing. When compared to stenting, endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure has superior adaptability, enhanced drainage, and lower reintervention rates. Clinical studies confirm higher success rates and shorter hospital stays. However, the procedure requires experienced, multidisciplinary teams, and protocols need further standardization to optimize outcomes. |
