Anastomotic leakage after rectal surgery is a very serious complication and is the main cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality. We describe three cases of rectal leakage which we treated with endoscopic vacuum-assisted closure. We used the Endo-SPONGE (B. Braun Aesculap AG, Germany), which consists of an open-cell, cylindrical polyurethane sponge connected to a drainage tube which is linked to a vacuum system to exert constant suction. The possible role of this new tool in the management of anastomotic leaks is also discussed.
直肠手术后吻合口漏是一种非常严重的并发症，是术后发病率和死亡率的主要原因。我们描述了三例经内镜真空辅助闭合治疗的直肠漏。我们使用了 Endo-SPONGE（B. Braun Aesculap AG，德国），它由一个多孔圆柱形的聚氨酯海绵连接到一个引流管，引流管与一个真空系统相连，以施加持续的吸力。还讨论了这个新工具在吻合口漏管理中的可能作用。
