Abstract
Abstract
Despite major advances in the management of intrathoracic oesophageal perforation, morbidity and mortality rates remain high1,2. Currently accepted management3 includes early thoracotomy, cleansing of the mediastinum, oesophageal suture and pleural space drainage. Even when performed at an early stage, primary oesophageal suture repair remains precarious, however. Experience of oesophageal primary suture reinforced with absorbable mesh and fibrin glue is reported.
