Esophageal injury

Esophageal injury is a disease that is mainly caused by rupture and perforation of the esophagus caused by instruments or foreign bodies. If it is not handled in time, acute mediastinitis, esophageal pleural fistula and almost death may occur. Due to the special anatomical position of the esophagus, it can be damaged by many different reasons. Although many advances in thoracic surgery have been made in recent years, the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and better nutritional support has made many improvements in the treatment of this disease. .
