Does a ruptured esophagus have sequelae after healing?

There are sequelae after rupture of the esophagus, such as esophageal stenosis, mediastinal infection, sepsis and so on. 1. Esophageal stenosis: After the healing of esophageal rupture, scar formation will lead to esophageal stenosis at the rupture site, and when the stenosis is severe, dysphagia may occur, which is manifested as choking sensation when eating dry food, and pain and irritation when it is severe. If necessary, endoesophageal stent implantation can be performed. 2. Mediastinal infection: after the rupture of esophagus, the food residue flows into the mediastinum, resulting in mediastinal infection, which is manifested as chest tightness, chest pain and respiratory difficulty, etc. Anti-infective and debridement treatment can be given. 3. Sepsis: due to the bacteria in the esophagus enter into the blood circulation, which leads to fever, blood pressure drop, change of consciousness and other symptoms, the source of infection should be removed and relevant antibiotic treatment should be targeted, such as cephalosporin and so on. Patients should actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, and should actively consult the doctor if there is any discomfort in order to minimize the adverse effects of the disease.
