Follow up after endoscopy and discharge from the hospital
DILATION
All patients were clinically examined, and laboratory checked during the hospital stay. Any suspected gastric leak post repair mandated CT scan with oral and I.V contrast and upper GI endoscopy. After discharge, patients who had undergone balloon dilation as a part of their repair procedure, were endoscoped every 4 weeks to continue the dilation till relief of distal pouch narrowing. Patients were followed-up for 18 months post repair.
