Esophagostomy and subsequent esophagectomy are extremely rare operations in the management of benign esophageal perforations in children. In this report, we present a 20-month-old female in whom we performed thoracic esophagostomy and subsequent intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis due to esophageal perforation caused by a chronic foreign body. The patient was discharged on the 10th postoperative day, and no complications were observed in the patient, who was followed for four years. The thoracic esophagostomy procedure helps preserve the esophageal length and easy execution of the esophagogastric anastomosis in the thorax. We believe it can be a safe and useful technique in carefully selected cases.
食管造口术及随后的食管切除术在儿童良性食管穿孔的治疗中是极为罕见的手术。在本报告中，我们介绍了一名20个月大的女性患儿，因慢性异物导致食管穿孔，我们对其实施了胸段食管造口术及随后的胸段食管胃吻合术。患者术后第10天出院，随访4年未观察到并发症。胸段食管造口术有助于保留食管长度，并便于在胸腔内进行食管胃吻合。我们认为，在精心挑选的病例中，这可能是一种安全且有用的技术。
