OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the effectiveness and clinical aspects of advanced endoscopic vacuum therapy for esophagogastric, esophagointestinal and gastrointestinal anastomotic leakage, to identify disadvantages and further possibilities for its improvement.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

The study included 69 people. Esophagodudodenal anastomotic leakage was detected in 34 patients (49.27%), gastroduodenal anastomotic leakage — in 30 patients (43.48%), esophagogastric anastomotic leakage — in 4 (7.25%) patients. Advanced endoscopic vacuum therapy was used for these complications.

RESULTS

Vacuum therapy in patients with esophagodudodenal anastomotic leakage led to complete healing of defect in 31 (91.18%) cases. In 4 (14.8%) cases, minor bleeding was noted during replacement of vacuum dressing. There were no other complications. Three (8.82%) patients died from secondary complications. Treatment of gastroduodenal anastomotic failure resulted complete healing of defect in 24 (80%) patients. Six (20%) patients died including 4 (66.67%) cases associated with secondary complications. Vacuum therapy for esophagogastric anastomotic leakage resulted complete healing of defect in 4 (100%) patients.

CONCLUSION

Advanced endoscopic vacuum therapy is a simple, effective and safe method of therapy for esophagogastric, esophagoduodenal and gastrointestinal anastomotic leakage.
