✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The results of emergency oesophageal transection are described. The overall operative mortality-rate was 45 per cent. There were no operative deaths in the patients with extrahepatic obstruction and normal liver function. The operative mortality-rate for the patients with cirrhosis was 53 per cent, or a salvage rate of 47 per cent if one considers that this is a highly selected group of patients (albeit negatively)–patients with impaired liver function who had not responded to intensive medical treatment and who were still bleeding at the time of surgery.
