Successful Management of Esophageal Perforation with Fully Covered Self-Expanding Metal Stent.

A 75-year-old male with a history of intermittent dysphagia due to peptic stricture underwent dilatation for a mid to distal esophageal stricture. Two years prior, he had undergone similar dilatation. After the recent procedure, the patient experienced sudden onset dysphagia and was diagnosed with esophageal perforation.

Upon arrival at our quaternary care center, the patient was stabilized and underwent endoscopy, revealing a large perforation (34-37 cm from incisors). A fully covered self-expanding metal stent was placed, sealing off the perforation.

We had to do a repeat procedure and fix the stent after 2 weeks as the stent migrated distally.

Good news is we could see the size of the perforation becoming very small when we fixed the stent.

*Outcome*

The patient's condition improved significantly after stent placement. This case highlights the importance of prompt intervention and the effectiveness of fully covered self-expanding metal stents in managing esophageal perforation and whenever necessary dont hesitate to fix your stent during the first procedure itself.

We Treated a 20-Year-Old With Black Stools, What We Found Was Unbelievable!😳

She came to us at Yashoda Hospital, terrified. A 20-year-old girl, suffering from recurrent black-colored stools a classic red flag for gastrointestinal bleeding. 🚨

But here’s the catch…
Despite multiple tests - UGI endoscopy, colonoscopy nothing showed up.
It was a classic case of Obscure Overt GI Bleeding.
And we knew we had to dig deeper.

So, we brought in the big guns:
🔎 Capsule endoscopy
🧠 Advanced imaging
⚙️ Double balloon enteroscopy

That’s when we finally identified the culprit, bleeding lesions in the jejunum, deep in the small intestine. Rare, hidden, and extremely hard to detect.

During surgery, we discovered more than 30 vascular malformations scattered across her small bowel. It was one of the most complex cases we’ve seen.

But we didn’t back down.
🩺 We performed an exploratory laparotomy, followed by intraoperative enteroscopy, carefully oversewed all the lesions, and resected the affected segment.

✨ The result? A successful surgery, no complications, and after 9 months of follow-up she’s stable, symptom-free, and thriving with an Hb of 11!

We also started her on Tab Thalidomide 50mg daily to prevent future bleeding.

This case was a reminder of the power of teamwork, technology, and timely intervention.
We’re proud of what we achieved not just for her recovery, but for what this means in managing such rare GI cases.

If you're dealing with unexplained symptoms like black stools or chronic anemia please don’t ignore them.
There’s always an answer, and we’re here to help you find it.
