| Abstract |
Management of postoperative esophagojejunal anastomotic leakage after total gastrectomy represents a very challenging event. Surgical repair is difficult, and conservative treatment can predispose to more severe complications. Endoclips and self-expanding stents are useful endoscopic therapeutic options but present some drawbacks. The Over-The-Scope-Clip (OTSC) system has been shown to be appropriate to close acute small gastrointestinal perforations, but its use in the treatment of chronic leakage remains controversial. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 June 2014.
All research outputs
#17,286,379
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery
#1,565
of 2,485 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#110,452
of 168,510 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery
#11
of 20 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,485 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 30th percentile – i.e., 30% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 168,510 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 20 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
