Hybrid management with graham patch repair assisted with an OVESCO endoscopic system for a post-Nissen fundoplication gastric fistula: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and importanceGastric fistula is a complication in gastrointestinal surgery. For decades, patients with gastric fistulas were treated surgically, with high morbidity and mortality. Minimally invasive treatment through endoscopic therapy with stents and interventionism has allowed improvements. We present a case of successful hybrid laparoscopy and endoscopy for the treatment of a post-Nissen fundoplication gastric fistula. CASE PRESENTATION: A 44-year-old male underwent laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication surgery; at 10 days post-surgery, he presented with oral intolerance, abdominal pain, and laboratory results showing an inflammatory response. Imaging studies indicated intra-abdominal collection; therefore, a laparoscopy revision was performed; transoperative endoscopy confirmed intra-abdominal collection and a gastric fistula. In turn, we performed closure with an omentum patch through the fistula fixed with OVESCO by endoscopy, with successful results. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Gastric fistula is a difficult complication to treat because exposure to secretions causes inflammation. Endoscopic techniques are described for the closure of gastrointestinal fistulas; however, several aspects must be considered for their use. Hybrid laparoscopic and endoscopic treatment in the same surgery can be useful and served as a novel and successful option in our case.
conclusionHybrid treatment with endoscopy and laparoscopy can be considered an optional approach for the management of gastric fistulas greater than 1 cm and of several days of evolution.
