Anastomotic leaks remain a significant clinical challenge following esophagectomy with foregut reconstruction. Despite an increasing understanding of the multiple contributing factors, advancements in perioperative optimization of modifiable risks, and improvements in surgical, endoscopic, and percutaneous management techniques, leaks remain a source of major morbidity associated with esophageal resection. The surgeon should be well versed in the principles underlying the cause of leaks, and strategies to minimize their occurrence. Appropriately diagnosed and managed, most anastomotic leaks following esophagectomy can be brought to a successful resolution.
