Abstract:
We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 17 patients with esophageal perforation and rupture from August 2007 to December 2011.Among them,there were spontaneous esophageal rupture (n =6),esophageal perforation caused by foreign bodies (n =8) and iatrogenic injury (n =3).Family members gave up treatment because of critical illness (n =2),conservative treatment was offered for surgical intolerance (n =1) and all others (n =14) underwent operation (thoractomy,n =13 ; neck incision,n =1).One patient with conservative treatment and another two surgical cases died.The other 12 cases recovered.Therefore individualized treatment is essential for the patients with esophageal perforation and rupture.
