Abstract:
PURPOSE:Esophageal perforation (EP) is still associated with a high mortality rate, even after surgical repair. We reviewed 17 cases of EP to evaluate the management of this major surgical problem. METHODS:We reviewed the medical records of all patients treated for EP in our department between November 2001 and November 2004. Therapy was based on various patient-related factors. RESULTS:Seventeen patients, with a mean age of 63 years, presented with EP mostly caused by iatrogenic incidents (11/17). In nine patients, the perforation was located in the thoracic segment, with a mean size of 2.5 +/- 0.6 cm. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) was performed in all patients to assess the periesophageal inflammation precisely. More than 50% showed signs of systemic inflammation indicative of sepsis, reflected by a dramatic increase in serum C-reactive protein and leukocytosis. Treatment consisted of debridement and drainage (n = 3), primary repair (n = 3), reinforced repair (n = 4), esophageal resection (n = 5), and conservative measures (n = 2). All patients, except for three with pre-existing liver dysfunction and other comorbidities, survived, representing a mortality rate of 17.6% (14/17). An analysis of the literature (2000-2005) revealed an overall mortality rate of 19.7% (101/521), ranging from 3% to 67%. CONCLUSION:Our data support the individualized surgical management of EP, based on careful evaluation of various patient-related factors, including CT findings.
