| Core Tip |
Gastrointestinal (GI) transmural defects, including perforations, leaks, and fistulas, are difficult to manage and are associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) has developed into a valuable tool for the treatment of these conditions. EVT has proven to be an effective and safe method in the intraluminal treatment of transmural defects, as it promotes changes in perfusion, causes microdeformation and macrodeformation, and decreases bacterial contamination, secretion, and local edema to facilitate healing. In this review, we discuss the mechanism of action, materials, techniques, efficacy, and safety of EVT in the management of patients with transmural GI defects. |
