Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Gastric perforation is considered a surgical emergency managed operatively; however, endoscopic repair techniques have gained popularity as they are cost-effective, improve mortality, and decrease hospital stay and recurrence. With increased prevalence of gastric defects postoperatively and after invasive endoscopic procedures, various endoscopic techniques were developed over the years, but special consideration should be given to the defect type, size, and location. Our case highlights the use of X-Tack through-the-scope suturing for closing a large, full-thickness gastric perforation in a difficult location where OverStitch is not feasible.
