Esophageal perforations are dangerous, often caused by medical procedures. Early diagnosis and repair are crucial for reducing mortality and improving patient outcomes in this life-threatening condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Emergency Medicine

Context:

  • Esophageal perforations, though managed with advancements, remain a critical condition.
  • Iatrogenic causes are the most frequent, highlighting procedural risks.
  • Multiple factors influence outcomes, including rupture characteristics and diagnostic delays.

Purpose:

  • To retrospectively analyze 7 cases of esophageal perforations over six years.
  • To identify causes, patient demographics, and outcomes.
  • To emphasize the importance of timely intervention.

Summary:

  • The study reviewed 7 esophageal perforation cases (5 male, 2 female; mean age 36).
  • Common causes included gunshot wounds (3), iatrogenic disruption (2), stab wounds (1), and foreign bodies (1).
