Initially, she was submitted to a retrosternal esophagocoloplasty with the maintenance of her damaged esophagus. After 1\u00a0year of this first surgery, she ingested caustic soda again in a new suicidal attempt. Her transposed large bowel in the first surgery became narrow, being replaced in a second surgery by a retrosternal esophagogastroplasty. Still, at the second surgery, her damaged esophagus remained in its original position in the posterior mediastinum. However, after 5 years, she developed an esophagocele.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>RESULTS:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The esophagocele was resected through videothoracoscopy in a prone position, employing four trocars. The postoperative was uneventful.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>CONCLUSION:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Esophageal exclusion must always be recorded because esophagocele presents unspecific symptoms. The videothoracoscopy in a prone position is an excellent technical option to resect esophagoceles.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BACKGROUND: Caustic ingestion is still a health problem of utmost importance in the West.
