Abstract:
Approximately 15% of all esophageal perforations occur within the cervical esophagus. Advances in medical care and surgical technique overtime have led to decreased mortality associated with esophageal perforations. While early recognition, accurate characterization, and adequate drainage, or repair when appropriate, remain the mainstays in the management of cervical perforations, endoscopic innovation has provided a minimally invasive option in the management of this disease and expanded the armamentarium of options available to providers.
