Abstract
Covered stent in the management of cervical anastomotic leaks after esophaguectomy Small cervical esophageal anastomotic leaks are usually treated conservatively, with considerable delays to oral feeding and a prolonged hospital stay. Self-expanding covered stents endoscopically placed are sug- gested as an alternative treatment. We report our hospital experience with covered stents, with good functional results but also potential morbidity.
