“…Ancillary treatment involves endoscopy, with implantation of a coated stent (CS) [3][4][5], a double pigtail stent (DPS) [6], or both [7] (depending on the series). Additional options include percutaneous radiologic drainage [8] or stricturotomy combined with endoscopic dilation [9,10].…”

“…Fistula orifices ≥10 mm in size have been reported to have more difficulty healing with stents compared to smaller fistulas [15]. In a recent review on endoscopic management of complications of bariatric surgery by Eisendrath and Deviere [8], the endoscopic approach to managing fistulas after bariatric surgery was associated with a success rate of over 80%.…”

“…In our latest and recent experience, washout and internal drainage (with pigtails) of the residual cavity, followed by diversion (using a stent) and closure (using a clip or bioglue) [8,23], seem to reduce and limit the incidence of chronic fistulas (data not shown). Furthermore, other authors presented new algorithms (guided by the size of the fistulous site and the presence of stenosis or rotation of the gastric tube) and new endoscopic technics (pneumatic dilation and stricturotomy) that allow early control of the gastric fistula and reduce the need for surgery [24,25].…”
