Abstract

Esophageal perforations or leaks can be spontaneous, iatrogenic, related to esophageal pathology, or postoperative. The modern management of esophageal perforations can involve endoscopy, surgery, or a hybrid approach, and it should be tailored to the individual patient to ensure the best outcome. It is important for the thoracic surgeon to understand current endoscopic technologies to manage esophageal perforations and their clinical applications.
