Endoscopic closure of gastrointestinal perforations, fistulas, and anastomotic dehiscence is technically feasible. Endoluminal closure of the instrumental perforations of the gastrointestinal tract can be accomplished immediately after the recognition of perforation, while avoiding the delay of arranging surgery and the trauma associated with thoracotomy or laparotomy. In addition, endoscopic closure should be considered in patients with anastomotic dehiscence and chronic fistulas as this may avoid the risk associated with reoperation. The outcome of closure depends on the technical expertise in the proper selection and use of various endoluminal closure options. Training of the endoscopists in the use of this novel technology will enhance the quality of care of our patients.
