INTRODUCTION: The diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of 19 patients diagnosed with esophageal perforation in our hospital were evaluated in the light of the current literature.
METHODS: 19 patients diagnosed with esophageal perforation in our hospital's General Surgery Clinic between 2013 and 2023 were retrospectively examined in terms of demographic characteristics, perforation type, diagnostic method, time to treatment, localization and width of perforation, treatment methods applied, morbidity and mortality.
RESULTS: Of the 19 patients, 11 (57.9%) were male. The mean age was 59.2 (22 - 82). Etiologically, the most common cause was foreign body origin and the most common level of perforation was thoracic esophagus. 12 of the patients were diagnosed within 24 hours. Six cases were followed nonoperatively with endoscopic intervention. 8 patients were mortal.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Despite current diagnostic and therapeutic methods, esophageal perforation is still a disease with a high mortality rate.
