Sumario:• Anastomotic leak is an infrequent complication after colon resection and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. • Endoluminal vacuum therapy (EVAT) promotes wound closure by covering anastomotic leaks intraluminally and applying vacuum. • EVAT has been shown to be safe with mild adverse events. • EVAT should be considered in hemodynamically stable gynecologic oncology patients with a confined anastomotic leak.
