Sohaib Ouazzani et al. Digestive neo-epithelialization after endoscopic stenting for upper digestive tract complete disunion

This series demonstrates the opportunity for endoscopic management of complete digestive disunion due to anastomotic necrosis by placing a self-expandable metal stent. The authors suggest that guided tissue regeneration alongside a (partially or fully covered) SEMS left in place for a median of 8 weeks makes this endoscopic approach feasible in selected cases.
