Medical management of esophageal perforation secondary to esophageal foreign bodies in 5 dogs

Abstract: Traditionally, surgical management of esophageal perforations has been recommended. This can be a costly and invasive procedure and requires a high degree of surgical skill. In this report, conservative management of substantial esophageal perforation in 5 dogs is described; medical management may be a viable treatment option in dogs with perforation of the esophagus due to EFB.

“…Radiographic evidence of cervical emphysema often influences the decision of surgical intervention; however, this remained debatable as several reports described successful management of oropharyngeal or oesophageal perforation with endoscopy and medical therapy in dogs (Robinson et al, 2014;Sterman et al, 2018;Teh et al, 2018). Endoscopy may serve diagnostic and therapeutic purposes as it allows direct visualisation of perforation and retrieval of foreign material in certain cases, respectively (Robinson et al, 2014).…”

“…In cases with lodged wooden fragments, treatment of choice is per oral endoscopic removal of the fragment or advancement into the stomach (Teh et al, 2018). Smaller perforations however without presence of wooden fragments can be managed medically (Teh et al, 2018). The present report describes a case of oesophageal perforation in a dog that was diagnosed radiologically and invasiveness of the perforation was estimated by CT scan, and finally managed by medical intervention.…”
