The incidence of occurrence varies from 2 to 25% and it is difficult to accurately calculate the incidence of fistula and leak post anterior resection, as most of them are asymptomatic. Endoscopic management of fistula and leak has become the first line of management after conservative management in many gastrointestinal surgical centers with the advantages of being less invasive, shorter length of post-operative hospital stay, effective and rapid recovery in comparison to revision surgery. Effective endoscopic management for colonic fistula or leak depends on the clinical status of the patient and fistula characters (time-to-occur and size and site of defect), and device availability.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This prospective randomized controlled clinical trial included all patients who developed the manifestations of low output recurrent colonic fistula or leak after colonic anterior resection for rectal cancer at Zagazig University Hospital between (December 2020 and August 2022). Sample size was 78 patients divided into two equal groups. Endoscopic group (EG): included 39 patients who underwent endoscopic management.

The median size of the fistula or leak was nine (range: 7\u201314) mm in EG, versus ten (range: 7\u201312) mm in SG. Clipping and Endo-stitch device were used in 24 patients versus 15 patients, respectively, in EG while primary repair with ileostomy, and resection &amp; anastomosis were used in 15 patients versus 24 patients, respectively, in SG. Recurrence, abdominal collection, and mortality were the post procedure\u2019s complications with incidence of occurrence of 10.3, 7.7 and 0%, respectively, in EG versus 20.5, 20.5 and 2.6%, respectively, in SG. Excellent, good, and poor were the parameters for quality of life with incidence of occurrence of 43.6, 54.6 and 0%, respectively, in EG versus 28.2, 33.3 and 38.5%, respectively, in SG. Median hospital stay was one (range: 1\u20132) day in endoscopic group, and seven (range: 6\u20138) days in SG.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Endoscopic intervention may offer a successful modality in managing low output recurrent colonic fistula or leak after anterior resection for rectal cancer that did not respond to conservative measures in stable patients.<\/jats:p>\n                <jats:p>ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05659446.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464-023-10092-z","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,5]],"date-time":"2023-05-05T15:01:53Z","timestamp":1683298913000},"page":"6145-6152","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Endoscopic management of low output recurrent colonic fistula or leak after anterior resection for rectal cancer: a randomized controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"37","clinical-trial-number":[{"clinical-trial-number":"nct05659446","registry":"10.18810\/clinical-trials-gov"}],"author":[{"given":"Said","family":"Negm","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Farag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Shafiq","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ehab Abd","family":"Allah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Shehata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasser A.","family":"Orban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Saleh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amr A.","family":"Abdelghani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"10092_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"123","DOI":"10.1016\/j.giec.2012.10.002","volume":"23","author":"N Kumar","year":"2013","unstructured":"Kumar N, Thompson CC (2013) Endoscopic therapy for postoperative leaks and fistulae.
