Minimally invasive method for the treatment of anastomotic leakage in the colorectal area
The Endo-SPONGE® is a minimally invasive method for the treatment of anastomotic leak in the low rectal area. The cavity is drained by the endoscopically introduced Endo-SPONGE® system with Redyrob® TRANS PLUS.
