Review Description

Background: Endoscopic vacuum therapy is a widespread method in the postoperative treatment of lower and upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract leakage. Objective: There is an absence of further technical development of the standardized material from 2007 for the lower GI tract. Material and methods: New strategies and new materials for endoscopic vacuum therapy are presented. Results: Alternative strategies in sponge placement, use of open-pore film drainage, use of a multiple sponge system, rinsing catheter, electronic pumps etc. enable the successful treatment of very complex pelvic defects. Conclusion: The wide variability of pelvic defects often necessitates a change in therapeutic strategies during the course of treatment for an optimized outcome.
