Background: Acquired tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF) is a rare, life-threatening pathology, responsible for severe comorbidities. Its management is a real therapeutic challenge and remains controversial.
Case Presentation: We report the first case of endoscopic treatment of TEF by using a porcine small intestine submucosal (SIS) plug device in a young quadriplegic patient after failed surgical closure by cervicotomy.
The incidence of Barrett's esophagus, complication of gastroesophageal reflux disease, is rising in western countries. It is the same for esophageal adenocarcinoma, of which it is the main contributing factor. This retrospective study seeks to report the incidence of these pathologies observed in a regional hospital center and to describe their management.

- * An international study of 72 CLD patients found that 17% also had IBD, with a notably higher prevalence compared to general European rates, indicating a potential relationship between CLD and IBD.
- * Patients with both CLD and IBD often have growth issues and may require surgical interventions, highlighting the need for attentive management of these patients' health.
Objective: The aim of our retrospective study is to analyse the results of endoscopic macro-clips used for closing intestinal breaches in the real life. Post-endoscopic, spontaneous perforations and surgical fistulas are included. Our results are compared with principal published series.
