[Esophagectomy with immediate reconstruction in esophageal trauma. Case report].

BACKGROUND
Noniatrogenic traumatic injuries of the esophagus are rare and are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. This result is influenced by the time elapsed, severity of injury and concomitant organ damage. Current management is controversial. Different treatment options exist; however, choice should be individualized to obtain the best result.


OBJECTIVE
To discuss the current management of esophageal trauma.


CLINICAL CASE
We report the case of a 19 year-old male with a grade V esophageal injury caused by shotgun and treated by esophagectomy and immediate gastric reconstruction.


CONCLUSION
Current treatment of traumatic iatrogenic esophageal injury should be individualized for a better clinical outcome.
