[Closure of instrumental perforation of the stenotic esophagus by means of endo-esophageal tube. On the way from solitary success to clinical principle? (author's transl)].
Instrumental perforation, consequential to esophagoscopic diagnostic or therapeutic procedures, ranges among the inherent and life threatening complications of such manoeuvres. Emergency operations in this situation are dangerous and bedeviled with a prohibitive percentage of mortality. Further spillage into the mediastinum was successfully prevented by introducing an endoesophageal tube of the Celestin-type. Antibiotic protection proved to be the only necessary additional measure.
