Abstract
Endoscopic methods are nowadays a priceless tool for the treatment of postoperative complications after hepatobiliary, pancreatic and thoracic surgery. Endoscopic decompression of the biliary tract is the treatment of choice for biliary duct leakage after cholecystectomy, hepatic resection or liver transplantation. Postoperative biliary duct stenosis can also be successfully treated by endoscopic balloon dilatation and implantation of various endoprostheses in most of the patients. In the case of pancreatic fistulas, especially those occurring after central or distal pancreatic resections, endoscopic decompression of the pancreatic duct can significantly contribute to rapid healing. Additionally, interventional endosonography provides a valuable treatment option for transgastric drainage of postoperative fluid collections, which often accompany a pancreatic fistula. Various treatment alternatives have been described for the bronchoscopic treatment of bronchopleural and tracheoesophageal fistulas, which often lead to the rapid alleviation of symptoms and often to the definitive closure of the fistula.

Abstract
Purpose: Although the usefulness of polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheet for wound dressing has been recently reported, its histopathological effect on wound healing is not completely elucidated. This pilot study focused on the neo-epithelium formation and the remaining inflammation. Methods: Full-thickness defects of 8 mm were created on the back of seven-week-old rats. Four rats were divided into the control (raw surface) group and the PGA group, in which the wounds were covered with a PGA sheet. The wounds were assessed on days seven and 12 after wound creation. The length of neo-epithelium on day seven was measured by referring to Masson’s trichrome (MT) and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) staining. The remaining inflammation on days seven and 12 was assessed with ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1) staining. Results: The average values of neo-epithelium length on day seven measured by referring to the borderline between MT staining and α-SMA expression were 959.2 μm in the control group and 582.2 μm in the PGA group. The number of Iba-1-positive cells on day 12 was significantly higher in the PGA group than in the control group. Conclusions: To assess the neo-epithelium length and the remaining inflammation, the α-SMA, MT, and Iba-1 staining may be appropriate.

Abstract
An 81-year-old woman presented with abdominal distension and right hypochondrial pain. Abdominal contrast computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an 11-cm gallbladder tumor. The patient was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration from the gastric antrum. Thereafter, the gallbladder tumor enlarged, and cholecysto-duodenal and transverse colon fistulas were formed. A covered metal stent was placed on the transverse colon, and polyglycolic acid sheets were injected into the duodenum to close the fistulas endoscopically. Endoscopic closure is less invasive than surgery and considered effective for patients with poor general health conditions.

Abstract
Background and study aims Esophageal fistulas after esophagectomy are associated with high mortality and poor quality of life. They are sometimes intractable to conservative management and surgery that increases mortality. Few studies have assessed use of polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets with fibrin glue for esophageal fistulas. We investigated the safety of using PGA sheets with fibrin glue for esophageal fistulas after esophagectomy. Patients and methods This was a single-center prospective pilot study. Patients who had refractory esophageal fistulas after esophagectomy were included. PGA sheets were filled in the fistula using biopsy forceps. Fibrin glue was applied to the PGA sheets. We repeated the procedure 1 week later. The outcome measures were the incidence of adverse events (AEs) and closure of the fistula. Results Five patients were assessed. No adverse events were observed. The esophageal fistula was closed with the application of PGA sheets four times in 40 % (2/5) of the cases. Conclusions PGA sheets with fibrin glue were safe for esophageal fistula closure after esophagectomy and do not involve the risk of AEs.

Abstract
Malignant aerodigestive fistula (ADF) is an uncommon condition complicating thoracic malignancies. It results in increased morbidity and mortality and warrants therapeutic intervention. The management approach depends on symptoms, configuration, location, and extent of the fistula. This article will discuss the therapeutic considerations in the management of ADF.

Abstract
A 65-year-old man with cT1bN0M0 stage I middle thoracic esophageal cancer underwent subtotal esophagectomy and gastric tube reconstruction through the posterior mediastinal route after preoperative carbon-ion radiotherapy and chemotherapy in a clinical trial. Anastomotic leakage occurred, but it spontaneously improved. At six months after the operation, he was rehospitalized with a cough and dysphagia. An esophago-bronchiole fistula and stenosis of the gastric tube were observed. He first underwent stent placement in the gastric tube. Two weeks later, the syringeal epithelium was burned by argon plasma coagulation after stent removal. Endoscopic occlusion was then performed for the fistula with two guidewire-assisted silicone spigots. Two weeks later, he was discharged on an oral diet, and he has not developed recurrence of the fistula or cancer for three years. This is the first report of endoscopic occlusion with a guidewire-assisted silicone spigot through the esophagus.
