Özet
Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy as a safe method can be performed even in outpatients. In this paper, we aimed to discuss the diagnosis and treatment modalities in esophageal perforations observed after upper gastrointestinal endoscopies in three patients in the light of literature. In Turkiye Yuksek Ihtisas Hospital, 7000 upper gastrointestinal endoscopies are done annually. The rate of esophageal perforation is 0.0014% and of the 800 ERCP performed the esophageal perforation rate is 0.012%. In conclusion although the rate of perforation observed following upper gastrointestinal endoscopies and ERCPs are not very high in our department, care must be taken in these cases because of mortal complications.
