Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Endoscopic treatment of early post-operative fistula in patients with underlying esophageal or gastric cancer has now become the standard of care. However, data regarding the yield of this type of treatment is lacking. This study aims to evaluate endoscopic management of this post-operative complication. The main outcome of this prospective observational study conducted in tertiary centers in France is fistula healing defined as the absence of collection on CT scan (with opacification) in a patient on PO diet, 3 months after the end of the endoscopic treatment.

Endoscopy

Endoscopic treatment will consist in placement of a metal stent in a patient with early fistula (\< 15 days) and/or a large fistula orifice, and no abscess, or double pigtail plastic stents if the fistula is older than 15 days and the orifice is small.
