This study details treating 25 iatrogenic esophageal lesions. Surgical intervention combined with antibiotics and esophageal exclusion led to successful healing in nearly all patients.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Procedures
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Iatrogenic esophageal lesions are a potential complication of medical procedures.
  • Effective management strategies are crucial for patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the experience in managing 25 cases of iatrogenic esophageal lesions.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical and conservative treatment approaches.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis primarily utilized water-soluble contrast esophagography and plain chest X-rays.
  • Treatment involved conservative management for one patient and surgical intervention for 24.
  • Surgical procedures included chest drainage and esophagostomy for nutritional support.
  • All patients received intravenous antibiotics and antiseptic mouth rinses.
