Zusammenfassung: | Abstract
Perforation is a known complication of endoscopic resection and has been managed with endoscopic defect closure, antibiotics and close observation. Closure of duodenal perforations are more challenging due to the presence of gastric and pancreaticobiliary secretions. The use of endoluminal vacuum therapy (EVT) to divert flow and aid closure is increasingly prevalent and may avoid high-risk surgery. We describe the use of endoluminal vacuum closure to salvage an iatrogenic duodenal perforation in a 57-year-old male who underwent an endoscopic mucosal resection of a 35-mm polypoid lesion on the posterior wall of the second portion of the duodenum. The endoluminal wound vac successfully controlled leakage and allowed defect closure. EVT is an emerging technique that can effectively manage complicated injuries throughout the GI tract and may allow enhanced recovery by avoiding surgical salvage and its associated morbidity and mortality. |
