          Abstract

          Esophageal perforation is a serious disease with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) is a new endoscopic treatment option, which is used to treat anastomotic leakages after rectal and esophageal resections. We report on 10 patients treated with EVT for esophageal perforation.
