Popis: Two cases of late-diagnosed esophageal perforation were successfully treated with near-total esophageal exclusion, using cervical T-tube esophagostomy with circumferential suture fixation of the lower arm of the T-tube. Esophageal stricture developed at the site of catgut or dexon tie. This complication can be managed with esophageal dilation. Drainage-tube gastrostomy proved to be unnecessary.
