The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1975
Esophageal perforation continues to be a challenge. The overall incidence is rising even though iatrogenic perforations are decreasing. With early diagnosis followed by prompt surgical treatment, most patients can be expected to survive. Roentgenographic contrast studies demonstrated a perforation in all but 1 of our patients who had this examination ...

Thirty-one patients were treated for an esophageal perforation between 1986 and 1998. The esophageal perforation was iatrogenic in 25 cases, spontaneous in 2, traumatic in 2, and caused by a tumor and tuberculous lymphadenitis ...

Perforation of the esophagus has always been a more serious condition than perforation of any of the intra-abdominal viscera. Prior to the antibiotic era, the complications of such lesions generally proved fatal. More recently, early suture of the lesion has been shown to yield a significantly higher survival rate.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2014
Esophageal perforation is uncommon but carries a high morbidity and mortality, particularly if the injury is not detected early before the onset of systemic signs of sepsis. The fact that it is an uncommon problem and it produces symptoms that can mimic other serious thoracic conditions, such as myocardial infarction, contributes to the delay in ...

Unsuspected Esophageal Perforation
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1978ESOPHAGEAL perforation has been seen more frequently in recent years because of the increased use of instrumentation as well as the increase in the number of surgical procedures performed on the esophagus. 1 Despite aggressive therapy, including surgical drainage and antibiotics, mortality remains high. If therapy is delayed, mortality is reportedly as

Thoracic Esophageal Perforations
The American Surgeon™, 2010The authors review their experience with thoracic esophageal perforation at Inova Fairfax Hospital, June 1, 1988, to March 1, 2009. With the exception of 6 patients with occult perforation, all of whom survived with nonoperative therapy, aggressive surgical intervention was the standard approach. Among patients treated aggressively with surgery within
