“…Consequences of esophageal exclusion have been examined for a number of decades now [2, 3, 5]. Bipolar exclusion of esophagus with cervical esophagostomy is a life-saving surgery in patients presenting late or with mediastinal contamination or sepsis after esophageal perforation.…”

“…In such situations, a partial excision has also been suggested with good results [5]. A left thoracoscopy has been reported as an alternative in cases where dense adhesions are presumed to preclude a right-sided approach [2]. In children, percutaneous drainage has been sometimes instituted as a temporizing measure until a definitive procedure can be done [7].…”

Mucocele of the native esophagus is a rare complication after esophageal bypass surgery for various indications. Esophageal mucoceles rarely get infected, forming a ‘pyocele’ which becomes symptomatic. Various approaches have been utilized in the management of such pyoceles. We report a similar patient managed successfully in our center utilizing a thoracoscopic deroofing and partial excision of the pyocele.

Bipolar esophageal exclusion is a “Hail Mary” procedure for control of leak and persistent mediastinal soilage from esophageal injury. Usually, the esophageal remnant scars down without negative consequences. Esophageal mucocele is a rare complication of bipolar esophageal exclusion. This is a case report of an iatrogenic esophageal transection and the subsequent treatment course. A retrospective chart review of the patient’s medical and surgical history was performed. After a robotic hiatal hernia repair at an outside institution, the patient suffered an esophageal leak and was surgically treated with esophageal exclusion, wide drainage of the mediastinum, and decortication of the resulting empyema. She subsequently underwent retrosternal gastric conduit for esophageal reconstruction 4 months later. Three years after this, she developed a rare complication of esophageal exclusion, a symptomatic esophageal mucocele that required resection.
