| Endoscopic stenting after staple line leaks has been supported by many authors in recent years, even if this is not a widely accepted treatment. Stent migration is the main complication after the procedure and it has been reported in 20%–59% of cases among different series. In this experience, stents 20 cm long and 24 mm in diameter BETA™ Stents were chosen. In this way, in each case, a good adherence of the stent to the gastric wall. |
