Whytheoesophagealinjuriesarehighlyproblematic? • The proximity of vitalstructures • The bloodsuply • The lack of serosalsurfacearroundtheorgan • The injuriesarecarryhighmorbidity and mortality • Most surgeons has limited experienceswithdiagnosis and treatment of suchcases
Boerhaave syndrome • Boerhaave first described Boerhaave syndrome, which involves tearing of the oesophagus, usually a consequence of vigorous vomiting. He notoriously described in 1724 the case of Baron Jan van Wassenaer, a Dutch admiral who died of this condition following a gluttonous feast and subsequent regurgitation.[8] This condition was uniformly fatal prior to modern surgical techniques allowing repair of the oesophagus.
