Multimodal therapeutic options for esophageal perforations-a single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Esophageal perforation is a life-threatening condition with a high mortality rate. The current therapeutic options range from conservative to endoscopic to surgical treatment. We aimed to compare specific patterns of multimodal management of spontaneous vs. other esophageal perforations.

Methods

The data from all consecutive patients diagnosed with either spontaneous (Boerhaave syndrome, BS) vs. other esophageal perforation (OEP) between 2010 and 2023 were prospectively collected and retrospectively analyzed. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality. The secondary endpoints were overall complications (Comprehensive Complication Index, CCI), therapy-associated complications, oral nutrition at discharge, and length-of-stay.

Results

In total, 32 patients
