Further comments on the paper

Comments: The article puts forth the management of esophagojejunal leak with Laparoscopic insertion of a suction isoperistaltic gastro-esophagostomy tube (SIJET) followed by total gastrectomy in patients with uncontrolled leak with sepsis. This further explains the steps of the surgical technique of laparoscopic placement of SIJET.
