title: Minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for the management of iatrogenic esophageal perforation in a patient with esophageal cancer.
abstract: Esophageal perforation after endoscopic instrumentation is a surgical emergency. Prompt diagnosis and treatment have a significant impact on mortality. In the setting of esophageal cancer, iatrogenic perforation presents a difficult challenge for surgical management as primary repair is not feasible. In this chapter, we describe the use of a minimally invasive Ivor Lewis esophagectomy for the management of an iatrogenic esophageal perforation in a patient with metastatic esophageal cancer.
