Abstract
Several techniques have been proposed to seal post-operative leaks endoscopicaly, however, chronic fibrosed fistulas remain a tenacious problem. We describe the success of a combination of minimally invasive peroral endoscopic techniques to seal and permanently close a chronic gastrocutaneous fistula complicating a laparoscopic gastric bypass, these techniques included: fistuloscopy, argon plasma coagulation, mucosal stripping and the novel over-the-scope clips.
