AI Article Synopsis
- * While complications like anastomotic leaks and conduit necrosis are well-documented, there is limited research on staple line dehiscence.
- * The case study highlights a successful surgical intervention for a significant staple line dehiscence, allowing for the preservation of the gastric conduit instead of opting for more drastic measures.
Article Abstract
Following esophagectomy, anatomical reconstruction with a gastric tube is the most common practice. The construction of the gastric tube is done with staplers nowadays, be it a minimally invasive esophagectomy or a conventional open surgery. Even though anastomotic leak and conduit necrosis are reported widely in the literature, the number of studies on staple line dehiscence is meager in comparison. Management of conduit failure usually sacrifices conduit combined with a diverting cervical esophagostomy. We report a case of successful surgical management of a big staple line dehiscence and 'salvaging of the conduit'.
