Minor adverse events have been described (92%, nausea, vomiting, mild to moderate abdominal pain) and major problems (1.1–2%, fluid collections, late bleeding, refractory symptoms, intraoperative perforation, splenic injury and pulmonary embolism) [154]. ESG appears to be safe with the advantages...
