Discussion & Conclusion

Q: Is it related to the results presented before? Do you consider them as coherent?

A: Good

Comments: The Discussion provides a detailed description of the importance of the placement of suction isoperistaltic gastro-esophagostomy tube (SIJET) in patients with esophagojejunal anastomotic leak establishing relevant literature. The Conclusion states that the laparoscopic SIJET provides a minimally invasive additional management option for patients with esophagojejunal leak followed by uncontrolled leak with sepsis.

Further comments on the paper

Comments: The article puts forth the management of esophagojejunal leak with Laparoscopic insertion of a suction isoperistaltic gastro-esophagostomy tube (SIJET) followed by total gastrectomy in patients with uncontrolled leak with sepsis. This further explains the steps of the surgical technique of laparoscopic placement of SIJET.
