ABSTRACT
A conservative method is presented for the treatment of oesophageal perforation where the diagnosis has been delayed. A system of tubes is described which allows the patient to be fed and at the same time prevents swallowed material from reaching the fistula. A case is reported which was successfully managed using the method.
