[Endoscopic treatment and recanalization with a needle-knife in the total stenosis of the esophago-jejunal anastomosis].
This is to report on a 44-year old female patient diagnosed with gastric cancer who was surgically treated with a total D-2 radical gastrectomy, block splenectomy and a lateral esophagus-jejunal anastomosis. A month after surgery and various post-surgery complications, a total stenosis of the esophagus-jejunal anastomosis was detected which was endoscopically solved with a needle-knife type obtaining an adequate recanalization of the lumen, which is the subject of this report.
