A novel approach for managing postsurgical colonic leak: proximal stent fixation with a novel suturing system

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Enteral stent migration is a common issue for both palliative and curative treatment of many GI diseases. Partially covered or uncovered metal stents are used for stenotic malignancies, whereas fully covered self-expandable metal stents (FCSEMSs) are mainly indicated in benign conditions, such as postsurgical leak or stenosis. Unfortunately, stent migration is higher when placing FCSEMSs; that is why many techniques have been developed to fix the proximal end of the stent in the upper GI, as through-the-scope clips, over-the-scope clips, and endoscopic sutures.
