Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Esophageal perforation is a rare diagnosis, which is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. There is only small scientific background regarding the best choice of treatment. Parameters indicating a good clinical outcome seem to be localization, depth of the defect, pre-existing risk factors, and time interval between the event and start of treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We evaluate retrospective data from 39 patients who were treated with a esophageal perforation in our hospital between 2004 and 2012. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Our collected data agree with the available published literature. Endoscopic treatment seems to be favorable in early diagnosis. © The Finnish Surgical Society 2014.
