Abstract:
Gastrointestinal leaks are a serious surgical complication resulting in communication of intra and extra-luminal compartments arising from a defect in the anastomosis. Here we present a short case with relevant endoscopic images and radiographs demonstrating successful closure of a leak with the over-the-scope clip device. As part of a multidisciplinary team, hospitalists should be familiar with novel endoscopic treatment options.
