Perigastric abscess caused by delayed perforation after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection: successful conservative treatment without perforation closure: a case report

Abstract Background Perigastric abscess caused by delayed perforation after endoscopic submucosal dissection is a very rare complication. In principle, delayed perforation after endoscopic submucosal dissection is treated surgically. Herein, we report a case of perigastric abscess caused by delayed...

description Abstract Background Perigastric abscess caused by delayed perforation after endoscopic submucosal dissection is a very rare complication. In principle, delayed perforation after endoscopic submucosal dissection is treated surgically. Herein, we report a case of perigastric abscess caused by delayed perforation after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection that was treated conservatively, without perforation closure, and in which the patient was discharged from hospital in a short period. Case presentation A-74-year-old Asian man was diagnosed with having early gastric cancer on follow-up endoscopy and was admitted to our hospital for endoscopic resection. Endoscopic submucosal dissection was performed without intraoperative complications. On postoperative day 2, the patient complained of a slight abdominal pain localized to the epigastric region and a small amount of melena. A computed tomography scan revealed the presence of free air in the peritoneal cavity, and a little fluid collection abutting the dorsal area of the stomach. An endoscopy examination showed a deep ulcer with the accumulation of pus, suggesting a perforation in the post-endoscopic submucosal dissection ulcer. We diagnosed a perigastric abscess, caused by delayed perforation after endoscopic submucosal dissection, and opted for conservative treatment, leaving the perforation site open to allow spontaneous drainage from the abscess into the stomach. A follow-up computed tomography scan revealed an encapsuled and localized perigastric abscess on postoperative day 5, and the disappearance of the free air and the regression of the perigastric abscess on postoperative day 7. A follow-up endoscopy examination on postoperative day 7 showed the closure of the perforation. Finally, surgery was avoided, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 14, after a relatively short hospital stay. Conclusion Regarding the treatment of perigastric abscess, caused by delayed perforation after endoscopic submucosal dissection, leaving the perforation site open to allow spontaneous drainage may shorten the conservative treatment period.
