Esophageal Perforations: Prognostic Factors • Diagnostic and therapeutic delay • Location (cervical, thoracic, abdominal esophagus) • Presence of esophageal diseases (primary, secondary) • Size of perforation • Extent of mediastinal and pleural contamination • Patient’s general status (septic shock)
Esophageal perforation Early diagnosis and survival * p < 0.05 Clin Chir PD 2003
Esophageal Perforation: Influence of Site & Diagnostic Delay on Mortality Site Immediate & Early Late (>24 h) Muir AD, Europ J Cardio-Thorac Surg 2003
Effect of Diagnostic Delay C.F, (M), 27 years old, admitted to the Hospital for “gastric fullness”and dyspnea during his first day of honey-moon: 24 hours of diagnostic delay • Propionibacterium SPP • Acinetobacter Baumanii • Candida albicans • Citrobacter SPP, • Klebsiella P • Enterococco faecium • Staphylococcus • Pseudomonas A. • Bacterioides
Mortality according to the cause of perforation & underlying esophageal disease • Endoscopy for foreign bodies 3.7% • Dilation of achalasia 4.1% • Dilation of benign strictures 6.3% • Diagnostic endoscopy 8% • Palliation of esophageal cancer 20% • Varices sclerotherapy 31% Medline 1990-2001
Esophageal Perforation: Principle of Management • Rapid closure of the esophageal leak • Drainage of mediastinal or pleural collection • Broad spectrum antibiotics • Nutrition (parenteral & enteral)
Main symptoms of perforation • Pain 95 % • Fever 80 % • Dysphagia 70 % • Rx signs 50 % • Emphysema 35 % First lesson: Believe the Patient !
Esophageal Perforations: What we need to know? • Where is the perforation (cervical, thoracic or abdominal esophagus)? • Size of the perforation • Is the leakage confined or free? • Is there any backflow of contrast material towards he esophageal lumen • Is there any underlying esophageal abnormality? from Kiss, Br J Surg 2008, mod.
Esophageal perforations: diagnostic tests • Chest Radiogram • Gastrographin swallow • CT scan • (Endoscopy)
Esophageal perforation: Chest X–ray is enough! L.V. 63 yrs: esophageal cancer with liver metastasis 02/01/2001: stent 12/01/2001: esophageal perforation
Gastrographin swallow: Locate the leakage from the cervical perforation down into the mediastinum.

Laparoscopic Heller Myotomy 1° post-op day (Saturday) Gastrographin swallow
….the CT scan confirmed that the leak was communicating with the pleura…
Management of Esophageal Perforations 1. • Non-operative treatment (NG Tube, parenteral nutrition, antibiotics) • Drainage only • Esophageal Stenting • Endoclip application Wu JT, J Trauma, 2007
….A chest drain was inserted and a tube was positioned laparoscopically in front of the 2 mm hole, in the upper part of the myotomy 8 days later….

Esophageal Perforation: Stenting Minimal soiling; • Site of perforation (avoid the UES) • Type of stent: avoid metallic stent in benign disease

Management of Esophageal Perforations Management of Esophageal Perforations 2. • Primary closure • Primary Closure with buttressing of repair • Pleural flap • Pericardial fat pad • Diaphragmatic pedicle graft • Omentum onlay graft • Rhomboid muscle • Latissimus dorsi muscle • Intercostal muscle • Gastric Fundus Wu JT, J Trauma, 2007

Esophageal Perforations: Conclusion • Potentially life-threatening event with considerable mortality and morbidity • Thoughtful and individualized approach • Surgery is still the “gold standard” • Endoscopic therapy (stenting) is effective, provided that diagnosis is early, mediastinal soil minimal, perforation is in thoracic esophagus and “round a clock” expert surgeon available
Endoscopic Pneumatic Dilation for Achalasia To be effective the dilation must tear the esophageal muscle wall: this depends on balloon size, pressure and duration
