case_images: The tear was confirmed to be at full thickness with bulging of the esophagus and large virtual space between the anterior esophageal wall and trachea, resulting in a false lumen produced by the tracheostomic cannula (Figure 1).
case_images: The pars membranacea was repaired with continuous suturing in 3-0 absorbable monofilament Polydiossanone while the anterior tracheal wall was sutured with single 2-0 Polyglactin braided absorbable stitches using cervicotomic access.
