Multi-modality management of defects in the gastrointestinal tract: Where the endoscope meets the scalpel: Endoscopic vacuum therapy in the upper gastrointestinal tract
Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology(2024)
摘要
Background
Transmural defects in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, such as anastomotic leakage and oesophageal perforations, are associated with significant morbidity and mortality risks. Endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) is an efficient and safe treatment option for these patients. With the growing use of EVT in the upper GI tract, it is important to share expertise on the topic.
Aim
This review explores the emerging role of endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) as treatment for transmural defects in the upper GI tract. An overview of the mechanism and procedures, outcomes in current literature and challenges of implementation and application are discussed.
Conclusion
EVT exhibits great efficacy and safety for the treatment of transmural defects in the upper GI tract. Current use of EVT is mostly experience-based, emphasizing the importance of sharing expertise and performing research to unlock its full potential.
