| Popis: | Oesophageal perforations are associated with a high mortality and morbidity. Intrathoracic perforations especially are associated with mediastinitis and sepsis. The repair of these perforations may be difficult, particularly when there has been a delay to diagnosis. We report our use of a method to repair or buttress the suture line after repair with a vascularized intercostal muscle flap, having used it successfully in two patients with intrathoracic oesophageal perforations. |
