Among complications, anastomotic leaks and fistulae can have functional, economic, and oncological consequences. Complications have been treated with surgery; yet, this management has changed considerably in recent years, moving towards less invasive therapies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Presentation of case:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the report of a 42-year-old man with a history of closed abdominal trauma with perforation of the sigmoid colon managed with a Hartmann-type colostomy. Six months later, he was admitted for a Hartmann reversal procedure without immediate complications. He was assessed again after 4 months observing a small area of erythema and periumbilical edema. EUS was performed without evidence of collections. Colonoscopy evidenced a 7-mm fistulous orifice in the colocolonic anastomosis. The Endo-VAC system was used, performing endoscopically exchanges twice a week following a low-residue diet. The procedure was performed on an outpatient basis and the closure of the leak hole in the colonic anastomosis was achieved in 30 days.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Endoluminal vacuum therapy or EVAC, is an adaptation of the therapy used for negative pressure wound closure. This minimally invasive technique has been used for the treatment of gastrointestinal leaks and fistulae in selected patients and within a hospital setting.
