Indigenously modified endoluminal vacuum-assisted closure therapy for post-operative gastrointestinal transmural defects: Case series and review of literature

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT: A gastrointestinal (GI) transmural defect is defined as a total rupture of the GI wall and these defects can be divided into three main categories, including perforation, leaks and fistulae. Recognition of the specific classification of the defect is important for choosing the best therapeutic modality. We present a case series of patients with gastrointestinal transmural defects which were managed with indigenously modified endoluminal vacuum-assisted closure.
