Postoperative anastomotic leakage is one of the most dangerous and, unfortunately, most frequent complications. Many methods have been tried to prevent such leakage. The incidence of leakage has decreased to 3.84% in our hospital in recent years. Ten cases of gastroesophageal anastomotic leakage following resection of carcinoma of the esophagus and gastric cardia are analyzed and a new tool, the three‐leaf clamp, which reduced the anastomotic leakage, is introduced.
