Core Tip	In this prospective case series, we report the outcome of the over-the-scope-clip system (OTSC) in endoscopic treatments of various indications, including closing fistulae and repairing anastomotic leakages in daily clinical practice in Switzerland. The OTSCs (n=28) were applied in 21 patients. Primary technical and clinical success rates were 85% and 67%, respectively. No complications were observed related to endoscopy or OTSC. OTSC is a useful tool for endoscopic closure of various GI lesions.
