Abstract:
The diagnosis and therapy of iatrogenic esophageal perforation in a group of patients treated for this condition. During the period of 1994-2002 twelve patients suffered iatrogenic esophageal perforation with a mortality rate of 33.3%. The therapeutical approach consisted of either primary repair of the perforation, drainage of the mediastinum and pleural cavity or inserting a stent. (Ref. 6.).
