The Authors describe 6 patients with esophageal jatrogenic of foreign body perforation treatment during the last 5 years. The early recognition and immediate direct suture of the lesion proved a simple and efficient treatment. At the contrary a delayed diagnosis represent the cause of morbidity and mortality (one case on the six described) being impossible a direct suture of the lesion as consequence of local and general infective complication leading to very long postoperative causes with possible iterative surgery. The use of T.P.N. and of antibiotic therapy gascromatografich testing guides for anaerobic infection provide today a much improved prognosis for these patients.
