In the last 20 years the endoscopic use of fibrin tissue adhesive has been mainly used for the conservative treatment of many postsurgical esophageal, gastrointestinal leaks. In this case report, a patient with anastomotic leakage after esophagojejunostomy treated by endoscopic use of fibrin tissue adhesive was presented. If anastomotic defect is smaller, fistula flow is not more, and distance can be reached by endoscopically, this treatment method can be applied easily.
