Therapeutic value of flexible endoscopy regarding treatment of esophagoenteric anastomotic leakage was retrospectively analyzed in 56 patients (female n = 13, male n = 43, age 60 years, 1/1992-4/2000). Endoscopic treatment was performed in 44 patients (self-expanding metal stent n = 38, fibrin glue n = 16, feeding tube/decompression tube n = 20, endoscopic percutaneous jejunostomy n = 8), interventional radiological technique in 4 patients and surgical treatment in 11 patients. All patients with open surgical reintervention developed reinsufficiency of the anastomosis. Successful endoscopic therapy was achieved in 75% with a mortality of 21.4%. Endoscopic treatment of esophageal anastomotic insufficiency is an effective alternative to conventional re-thoracotomy. The appropriate endoscopic intervention needs to be decided individually depending on diagnosis and location.
