Customarily, this complication is treated surgically via either a laparotomy or a thoracotomy. We report a minimally invasive transperitoneal laparoscopic repair of a distal esophageal laceration in a patient with peptic stricture. In addition to a primary repair of the perforation, a Nissen fundoplication was also performed to buttress the esophageal repair and to treat the patient’s underlying condition. The patient recovered well. We present details of the procedure. This minimally invasive approach is safe and well tolerated in selected patients.","PeriodicalId":83043,"journal":{"name":"The Guthrie journal of the Donald Guthrie Foundation for Medical Research","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74763049","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
