Abstract

Gastrointestinal perforations, leaks and fistulas may complicate endoscopic and surgical procedures. Surgical repair is associated with significant morbidity. Therapeutic endoscopic tools and techniques have included the application of tissue sealants, clip closure, and stent placement. Endoscopic suturing is a rapidly evolving minimally invasive technique. The OverStitch (Apollo Endosurgery, USA) is currently the only available endoscopic suturing system. Although technically more difficult than clip closure, endoscopic suturing allows closure of larger defects. In some settings, outcomes similar to surgical management with less morbidity may be achieved. This review describes the OverStitch endoscopic suturing system and the published literature regarding its use for perforations, leaks and fistulas.

应用OverStitch TM治疗肠穿孔、瘘、漏

胃肠穿孔、渗漏和瘘管可能使内镜和外科手术复杂化。外科修复与显著的发病率相关。治疗性内窥镜工具和技术包括组织密封剂的应用、夹子闭合和支架放置。内窥镜缝合是一种快速发展的微创技术。OverStitch（美国阿波罗内窥镜手术）是目前唯一可用的内窥镜缝合系统。虽然在技术上比夹子闭合更困难，但内窥镜缝合可以闭合较大的缺陷。在某些情况下，可以实现类似于手术治疗的结果，但发病率较低。这篇综述介绍了OverStitch内窥镜缝合系统及其在穿孔、渗漏和瘘管中的应用。版权所有©2017，胃肠道干预学会。保留所有权利。

期刊介绍： IJGII (pISSN 2636-0004, eISSN 2636-0012) was published four times a year on the last day of January, April, July, and October, which has effected from January 1 in 2019. This Journal was first published biannually on June and December, beginning in December 2012 under the title ‘Gastrointestinal Intervention’ (former pISSN 2213-1795, eISSN 2213-1809) and was changed to be published three times a year from 2016. Commencing with the January 2019 issue, the Journal was renamed ‘International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention’. As the official journal of the Society of Gastrointestinal Intervention (SGI), International Journal of Gastrointestinal Intervention (IJGII) delivers original, peer-reviewed articles for gastroenterologists, interventional radiologists, surgeons, gastrointestinal oncologists, nurses and technicians who need current and reliable information on the interventional treatment of gastrointestinal and hepatopancreaticobiliary diseases. Regular features also include ‘state-of-the-art’ review articles by leading authorities throughout the world. IJGII will become an international forum for the description and discussion of the various aspects of interventional radiology, endoscopy and minimally invasive surgery.
