Resumen
PONCE-ESPARZA, Alexander Germán y PRIETO-ORTIZ, Robin Germán. Conservative Management of Esophageal Perforation Due to Foreign Body: A Case Series of Four Patients. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2025, vol.40, n.1, pp.110-117. Epub 09-Jun-2025. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.1219.
Introduction:
The most common cause of esophageal perforation today is diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. However, perforation caused by a foreign body accounts for 10% to 35% of cases, with a mortality rate of up to 18%.
Method:
This case series presents patients diagnosed with esophageal perforation who were treated conservatively over a two-year period at the Hospital Regional de Moniquirá, Colombia.
Results:
Six patients experienced esophageal perforation due to a foreign body. Of these, four were successfully managed without the need for surgery.
Conclusions:
Conservative treatment of esophageal perforation is a valid approach for selected patients who meet Cameron’s criteria and can undergo strict follow-up.
