Lesson description:
Leaks and fistulas can be acute or chronic, well tolerated or physiologically devastating. Increasingly they are treated with the help of flexible endoscopy, although many times the definitive resolution requires a multimodality approach with percutaneous and surgical approaches often required. The tools derived from NOTES are particularly useful in this field and various clips, suturing devices and covered stents have dramatically improved the ability to treat these problems.
