About this trial
The goal of this observational study is to assess the impact of endoscopic vacuum therapy in patients who underwent total gastrectomy due to gastric cancer and developed esophago-jejunal anastomotic leakage. The main outcomes to be investigated are the following:
Primary endpoint: mortality rate Secondary endpoints: morbidity rate, time from AL diagnosis to discharge, patients satisfactory rate.
