Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
Background. Penetrating lesions of the esophagus are more common than blunt injuries. The bullet wound (75%) is the main cause of these. In traumatic injuries, primary surgical repair is the standard of treatment. Methods. Observational, Descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective analysis of patients with esophageal trauma during January 2017 to December 2018. Results. There were 4 male patients, average of hospital stay 37.4 days. The mechanism of injury was: 2 due to injury with a puncturing instrument, 1 due to a gunshot wound (HPAF) and another injury due to perforation with a foreign body. Surgical treatment was: 3 of 4 patients underwent esophageal rafa and one of them had a trachea rafa with a sternocleidomastoid ap. The complications were esophageal stula and tracheal stula. Conclusions. These types of injuries are potentially fatal if there is a delay in diagnosis and treatment.
