Reply to: "Does it matter which plastic stents we use for the treatment of post-surgical leaks? Or is it a one-size-fits-all?"

Abstract

We appreciate the interest of Sánchez-Luna et al. in our article "Endoscopic internal drainage using transmural double-pigtail stents in leaks following upper gastrointestinal tract surgery", and find their suggestion about using softer urological double pigtail stents (DPS) for endoscopic internal drainage (EID) interesting.
