| Summary | We describe the case of a 66-year-old man with an anastomotic fistula after rectal surgery, which was treated colonoscopically using polyglycolic acid sheets and fibrin glue. Polyglycolic acid sheets and fibrin glue have been used in thoracic surgery and otolaryngology to reinforce sutures and prevent air leakage. There have been recent reports of their use in endoscopic surgery for the closure of intraoperative perforations after endoscopic submucosal dissection and for fistula closure after upper gastrointestinal tract surgery. However, anastomotic fistulas in colorectal surgery are difficult to visualize endoscopically and may be difficult to suture with clips due to fibrosis. Polyglycolic acid sheets can be easily trimmed, and the fistula can be easily filled using these sheets; moreover, using fibrin glue to fix the sheets may enable fistula closure in areas that are difficult to visualize endoscopically. |
