Abstract
|
|
|
Esophageal perforation, regardless of the etiology, is a catastrophic event. The importances of early diagnosis and an aggressive surgical approach in the management of such a potentially lethal situation are stressed, in fact the mortality rate
is
directly related to the interval between perforation and initiation of treatment.
We experienced a rare case of esophageal rupture caused by compressed air which produce a rupture of the colon not infrequently, which was treated succesfully by an aggressive surgical approach consisting of closure of the perforation and
adequate
drainage. (Korean J Thoracic Cardiovas Surg 1994; 27:507-509)
