The significance of these complications is related, not only to their relatively high incidence but also to the high morbidity and mortality associated with them. Advances in minimally invasive and endoscopic approaches over the past few decades have led to an increase in surgical indications for esophageal diseases, and also to the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in the management of complications, allowing the thoracic surgeon to intervene earlier and more effectively.
