A 53-year-old man underwent surgical repair and drainage of a spontaneous esophagealrupture through a left anterolateral intercostal thoracotomy.
1
Conclusion: Conservative medical or surgical management of oesophagealperforation following pneumatic dilatation is safe, if the diagnosis is done early.
2
Oesophagealperforation remains a serious life-threatening injury.

Conclusions: Our study represents a large series of patients treated for esophagealperforation.
2
Background: Boerhaave's syndrome is the most sinister cause of esophagealperforation.
3
Rare side effects include esophagealperforation, pneumonia and breathing problems.
4
Background: Historically, esophagealperforation has been associated with significant mortality.
5
The surgical complications reportedly include hemorrhage, esophagealperforation, gastric perforation, and vagus nerve damage.
6
However, intraoperative esophagealperforation remains a significant complication.
7
We reviewed our experience with the management of esophagealperforation to determine whether outcomes have improved.
8
Background: The surgical management of esophagealperforation (EP) often results in mortality and significant morbidity.
9
The results demonstrate that the overall mortality from esophagealperforation can be less than 10%.
10
One esophagealperforation occurred in each subgroup.
11
Purpose: To assess the results and indications of conservative management of esophagealperforation following pneumatic dilatation for achalasia.
12
On the 3rd postoperative day he presented a mediastinitis secondary to esophagealperforation produced by a Linton tube.
13
Methods: Five consecutive patients presenting with distal esophagealperforation after pneumatic dilation for achalasia were included in this study.
14
We have shown in this large series that Heller myotomy can be completed using this technology without esophagealperforation.
15
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all cases of esophagealperforation from 1997 through 2008 at our institution.
16
Conservative management of esophagealperforation we proceeded in 5 patients in whom a stent was introduced and the perforation successfully healed.
