Sumario:Spontaneous rupture of the esophagus, which is also known as Boerhaave’s syndrome, is a rare life-threatening condition that requires urgent surgical management. The optimal treatment involves surgical repair of the esophageal defect, which is usually accomplished via laparotomy, thoracotomy, or both, and mediastinal debridement. Here, we report a case of spontaneous rupture of the esophagus that was treated with suturing repair and drain insertion using a hand-assisted laparoscopic approach.
