Overview
Most physicians advice surgical intervention if the diagnosis is made within the first 24 hours after perforation. The main objectives of surgical management in patients undergoing primary repair are debridement of non-viable esophagus and repair of the perforation. The surgical procedure opted depends on the general condition of the patient, level of intrathoracic contamination and eligibility of the esophagus for primary repair.
Surgery
Objectives of surgical management
The main objectives of surgical management in patients undergoing primary repair are as follows:[1][2][3]
- Debridement of non-viable esophagus
- Repair of perforation
- Drainage of pleural and mediastinal spaces
- Pleural and mediastinal decontamination
- Gastric decompression
- Enteral feeding access
Surgical techniques
The operative procedure opted for the repair of esophagus is influenced by the following factors:
- General condition of the patient
- Level of intrathoracic contamination
- Eligibility of the esophagus for primary repair
The following surgical techniques are used to perform a repair of a perforation of the esophagus:
- Devitalized tissue is debrided from the perforation.
- Longitudinal incision of the muscular layer and along the muscle fibers superior and inferior to the perforation to expose the entire extent of the mucosal injury.
- The mucosa is closed with absorbable sutures and the muscularis layer is closed with non-absorbable sutures.
- Primary repair
- Repair over T-tube
- Debridement and drainage
- Esophageal exclusion (cervical esophagostomy, distal esophageal transection ± esophagectomy).
- Large-bore apical and basal intercostal chest drains are inserted in all patients at the initial operation
- A trans-hiatal drain is inserted in patients undergoing a pure trans-hiatal approach without thoracotomy
Video

Postoperative management
- Nutritional support until oral feedings can be initiated and sustained
- IV broad spectrum antibiotics typically for 7 to 10 days
- A contrast esophagram is done on postoperative day seven if the patient is stable
- Drains remain in place until the patient is tolerating oral feedings and without evidence of a leak
Endoscopy
Endoscopic treatment for an esophageal perforation should be considered in patients who are unlikely to tolerate surgery[4]
