title: [Treatment of perforation of the cervical esophagus during diagnostic endoscopy].
abstract: Early diagnosis of esophageal perforation is critical. We believe that the treatment of each case must be individualized. The management of perforation in our series has been "conservative" in two cases, for small perforations; and "operative", suture closure and drainage, in the remainder, for a large perforation with contamination of the mediastinum.
