Methods In total 30 patients treated surgically between 1980 and 2008 for non-iatrogenic traumatic cervical esophageal perforation in our clinic were reviewed. Results There were 25 male and 5 female patients with a median age of years. The type of injury was external trauma in 21 70 patients and endoluminal injury in the remaining 9 30 patients. The mechanism of injury was gunshot in 16 patients stabbing in 4 falling in 1 extraluminal injury and foreign body in 9 endoluminal injuries . The overall mortality rate was 5 30 . The mortality rate for extraluminal injuries was 19 and for endoluminal injuries was . Mortality in patients treated within 24 h of sustaining injury was substantially less than in those for whom diagnosis and treatment were delayed and respectively . The mortality rate was 3 9 for patients with tracheal injuries and 2 21 for those without tracheal injuries. Conclusions A treatment delay greater than 24 h the presence of tracheal injury or extraluminal perforation significantly affected the outcome of surgically treated non iatrogenic traumatic cervical esophageal perforation.

Traumatic injuries to the .
