ABSTRACT
Small cervical esophageal anastomotic leaks are usually treated conservatively, with considerable delays to oral feeding and a prolonged hospital stay. Self-expanding covered stents endoscopically placed are suggested as an alternative treatment. We report our hospital experience with covered stents, with good functional results but also potential morbidity.
RESUMEN
La fístula anastomótica esofágica cervical suele manejarse de forma conservadora, lo que retrasa el inicio de la alimentación oral y prolonga la estancia hospitalaria. El uso de endoprótesis recubiertas colocadas vía endoscópica se utiliza como una alternativa para evitar esta situación. Presentamos dos casos manejados con endoprótesis recubierta, con adecuado funcionamiento pero no exenta de morbilidad.
