Most physicians advice surgical intervention if the diagnosis is made within the first 24 hours after perforation. The main objectives of surgical management in patients undergoing primary repair are debridement of non-viable esophagus and repair of the perforation. The surgical procedure opted depends on the general condition of the patient, level of intrathoracic contamination and eligibility of the esophagus for primary repair.
