Abstract
Esophagus is the organ under risk of complications during many different types of surgical procedures. One of the most common iatrogenic traumas causing esophagus perforation is the cervical vertebrae surgery. Late term pharyngo-esophageal perforation is a rare but mortal complication of this surgery. Because of this reason, it is vital to take out the foreign material and to repair perforation. In this paper, the diagnosis and management period of a patient with esophagus perforation, 7 years after the percutaneous anterior discectomy and fusion with titanium cage procedure, due to the instrument placed on cervical vertebra, will be reported.
