Abstract

Objective:

To present our experience of the extraction of the esophageal foreign bodies by cervicotomy route.

Patients And Method:

Descriptive retrospective study from 2006 to 2010 realized in the ENT Departments of Yopougon and Treichville's Teaching Hospital.

Results:

9 (3.3%) of 270 patients underwent surgery to remove esophageal foreign bodies. The average age of the patients was of 14.6 years (extremes: 8 months and 49 years). The foreign bodies were fish bone, hook of clothes peg, medallion, denture and weld. Cervicotomy was performed at once in 4 cases and after failure of esophagoscopy in 5 cases. There were 2 complications (pharyngostoma and suppuration of the operating site).

Conclusion:

The cervicotomy must be quickly performed in case of perforation with or without neck abscess, sharp or voluminous bodies.

Esophageal Perforation-II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

Esophageal perforations manifest in various clinical forms, influenced by factors such as the perforation's cause and location (cervical, intrathoracic, or intra-abdominal), the extent of contamination, and potential injury to adjacent mediastinal structures. The timing between the perforation occurrence and treatment initiation also affects the clinical presentation.

Patients with esophageal strictures often experience a range of symptoms. Initially, they may have difficulty swallowing solid foods, which can progress to include liquids. Additional symptoms may involve chest pain or discomfort, regurgitating food and fluids, heartburn, unintentional weight loss, coughing or choking during meals, and hoarseness.
Healthcare providers should gather a comprehensive medical history and conduct a physical examination for diagnosis. If esophageal stricture is...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.
