Esophageal Perforation Repair is a surgical procedure aimed at closing a hole or tear in the esophagus, which can occur due to trauma, surgical complications, or infections like esophageal rupture. This condition can lead to severe complications, including infection in the chest or abdomen.

The surgery involves locating the perforation, cleaning the surrounding area to prevent infection, and suturing the tear to restore the integrity of the esophagus. In some cases, a temporary feeding tube or drainage may be required for recovery.

Postoperative care includes pain management, monitoring for complications such as infection, and supporting the patient with nutritional therapy. Antibiotics are typically given to prevent infection, especially if the perforation was due to an infection or foreign body.

Esophageal perforation repair is critical for preventing potentially life-threatening complications like sepsis or mediastinitis, and it helps restore the function of the esophagus.
