title: [Aimed fistulization in spontaneous ruptures of the thoracic esophagus after delayed diagnosis. Apropos of 4 cases].
abstract: Of four cases of spontaneous rupture of thoracic esophagus treated, three were the object of direct fistulization on a Kehr's drain because of the delay in diagnosis. This technique remains valid since it provides satisfactory drainage without excluding the focus, reduces the time of hospital care when compared with that for simple suturing, and appears preferable to methods of esophageal exclusion which often require a secondary surgical procedure.
