Core Tip	Management of staple line leaks has incorporated, in recent years, a non-surgical approach which mainly depends on elimination of oral intake, parenteral nutrition, antimicrobial therapy, and drainage procedures and more recently the use of esophageal self-expandable metal stents for sealing of these leaks as well as the induction of tissue hyperplasia that would close these leaks. This case is the first, to our knowledge, that reports the successful use of self-expandable metal stents for the closure of a posterior gastric wall necrosis as a consequence of repeated bariatric surgery.
