Implication

Retrospective clinical case series highlights significant postoperative complications of esophageal perforation, suggesting effective management strategies.

Key Points

Delayed esophageal perforation can be effectively treated through instrumentation removal and primary closure.
Seven patients with esophageal perforation following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion were reviewed, averaging 63.6 years of age.
Patients presented symptoms including dysphagia, dysphonia, and neck abscesses, with diagnosis often linked to instrumentation issues.
Careful monitoring of symptoms post-ACDF is crucial for timely management of esophageal perforations.
