Single stage bipolar exclusion of oesophagus in failed primary repair for perforation
1Department of General Surgery, Sir JJ Hospital, Mumbai, India.
Abstract:
Perforation of the thoracic oesophagus is a serious clinical problem, associated with a high morbidity and mortality, especially if treated late. Primary repair with or without reinforcement is commonly recommended, if the patient presents within 24 hours. As the time to treatment increases, primary repair has a high rate of leakage and complications. A useful technique of temporary oesophageal exclusion and diversion with spontaneous recanalisation is presented. The technique obviates the need for thoracotomy and preserves the native oesophagus
