Successful treatment of esophageal repair with omentum for the spontaneous rupture of the esophagus (Boerhaave's syndrome).
Hepato-gastroenterology 2012 May
Spontaneous rupture of the esophagus (Boerhaave's syndrome) is a critical disease. Most patients should undergo surgery for primary closure and drainage of the mediastinum and thorax. We treated a total of 7 cases of spontaneous rupture of the esophagus between December 2000 and August 2007. The time delay was 3 hours to 4 days (mean 16.7 hours) and the length of longitudinal tears ranged from 3 to 10cm (mean: 5.6cm). All cases underwent pedicled omental flap repair to reinforce the suture line. We introduced our technique by pedicled omental flap for successful treatment.
