A rare esophageal perforation after endoscopy was successfully treated with minimally invasive surgery. This case highlights epiphrenic diverticulum as a potential cause, managed effectively with diverticulectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Esophageal Diseases

Background:

  • Esophageal perforation is a serious complication, often requiring prompt intervention.
  • Endoscopic procedures, while generally safe, carry inherent risks, including perforation.
  • Epigastric pain is a common symptom that can precede esophageal pathologies.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with esophageal perforation 11 days post-endoscopy for epigastric pain.
  • Initial conservative management included parenteral nutrition, chest drainage, and antibiotics.
  • Surgical planning involved videolaparoscopic jejunostomy, esophageal exclusion, and cervical esophagostomy.

Findings:

  • Intraoperative findings revealed the perforation originated from an epiphrenic diverticulum.

  • Videolaparoscopic diverticulectomy with manual and mechanical suture was performed.
  • The patient experienced a successful postoperative recovery.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering epiphrenic diverticula in esophageal perforations post-endoscopy.
    • Minimally invasive videolaparoscopic techniques can be effective for complex esophageal repairs.
    • Timely diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes in esophageal perforation.
