Reviewer: Akira Imoto
Reviewer's report:
Major
1. Are there any comparative studies between MPSs and FCSEMS in
endoscopic management of bile leaks post cholecystectomy? If exist, please
describe it in discussion.
2. What do authors think the differences between single or double plastic stenting
and more than triple plastic stenting. Please describe it in discussion.
3. Why authors did not routinely insert stents above the leak site? Do authors
compare the success rate between covered leak site group and uncovered leak
site group? Please describe them in Table 3 and discussion.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: Yes, but I do not feel adequately qualified to assess the
