Résumé
Malignant tumors of the esophagus are the sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Postoperative leakage of the esophago-gastrostomy leads to mediastinal sepsis, which is still associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate. The aim of this study was to describe the endoscopic view of the different severity grades of an anastomotic leakage. Patients Between June 2016 and September 2018, 144 patients were operated upon in the Department of Surgery, University of Munich, Germany. Among these patients, 34 (23.6%) presented with a leakage of the anastomosis. Endoscopy In this retrospective analysis, the focus is to describe different patterns of leakage of the anastomosis. We studied 34 patients in whom post-esophagectomy leakage of the anastomosis was detected and treated with an endoluminal vacuum sponge system. The leakage healed in 26 of 29 patients (success rate 89.7%). With the increasing severity of leakage, the treatment time and the in-hospital mortality correspondingly increased. Furthermore, the incidence of the development of a fistula to the tracheobronchial system increased with higher grades of leakage. Exact descriptions of leakage are necessary to compare the cases and to prove post-treatment improvement. This is, to our knowledge, the first publication to present a leakage grading score in patients after esophagectomy including reconstruction with a gastric tube. This new grading system needs to be tested in further analyses, with a special focus on prospective analysis.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Malignant tumors of the esophagus are the sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Postoperative leakage of the esophago-gastrostomy leads to mediastinal sepsis, which is still associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate. The aim of this study was to describe the endoscopic view of the different severity grades of an anastomotic leakage.
METHODS
METHODS
Patients Between June 2016 and September 2018, 144 patients were operated upon in the Department of Surgery, University of Munich, Germany. Among these patients, 34 (23.6%) presented with a leakage of the anastomosis. Endoscopy In this retrospective analysis, the focus is to describe different patterns of leakage of the anastomosis.

RESULTS
We studied 34 patients in whom post-esophagectomy leakage of the anastomosis was detected and treated with an endoluminal vacuum sponge system. The leakage healed in 26 of 29 patients (success rate 89.7%). With the increasing severity of leakage, the treatment time and the in-hospital mortality correspondingly increased. Furthermore, the incidence of the development of a fistula to the tracheobronchial system increased with higher grades of leakage.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Exact descriptions of leakage are necessary to compare the cases and to prove post-treatment improvement. This is, to our knowledge, the first publication to present a leakage grading score in patients after esophagectomy including reconstruction with a gastric tube. This new grading system needs to be tested in further analyses, with a special focus on prospective analysis.
