Case highlights endoscopic treatment with stenting, myotomy, and vacuum closure for esophageal perforation, suggesting viability of intervention.

Our case highlights an endoscopic alternative for treatment using esophageal stenting, cricopharyngeal myotomy, and endoluminal vacuum-assisted closure for an unhealed iatrogenic case of cervical esophageal perforation.
