Abstract

Two cases of traumatic tracheo-esophageal disruption are presented. Based on these cases and a review of the literature, we recommend that early neck exploration is essential for accurate diagnosis. Early repair has been the most important factor in minimizing complications in our cases and in those reported in the literature.
