title: [Two technical artifices useful in the surgical treatment of perforations of the thoracic oesophagus (author's transl)].
abstract: Perforation of the thoracic oesophagus sets a difficult surgical challenge because suture and drainage are rarely sufficient by themselves. The authors describe two artifices likely to help in such circumstances: endothoracic fundo-plicatio and pediculated flap of the greater omentum. Their use in 4 clinical cases is reported.
