Background: Management of anastomotic dehiscences following colorectal surgery is a topic of debate. In this context, endoluminal vacuum therapy offers promising results. Objective: To analyze the efficacy and feasibility of endoluminal vacuum therapy in distal anastomotic dehiscences after colorectal surgery. Materials and methods: This study is a descriptive case series that evaluates patients with anastomotic dehiscences over a period of 18 months. All patients were treated with Endo-sponge™ (Braun Medical, Hessen, Germany). Results: Fourteen patients were included in the final analysis. The indications for endoluminal vacuum therapy were Hartmann's stump insufficency (n=6), anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (n=4), and anastomotic dehiscence after transanal total mesorectal excision (n=4). A total of 204 sponges were placed per patient (median 12.5, ra...
