Thoracoscopic drainage of and foreign body removal from a posterior mediastinal abscess.

Ben Davies1, Edward Black, Roger Vaughan.   

Abstract

We describe the thoracoscopic management of mediastinal sepsis and foreign body associated with a cervical oesophageal perforation. Following initially successful conservative management, the patient's condition worsened and we undertook surgical exploration where the abscess was drained and a fragment of china recovered.
