Intrathoracic oesophageal rupture is a life‐threatening condition that requires early diagnosis and effective treatment if death or serious prolonged illness is to be avoided. Six consecutive patients with intrathoracic oesophageal rupture were treated by debridement and irrigation of the mediastinum and primary suture closure with reinforcement of the suture line by pedicled omentum. The cause of the rupture was Boerhaave's syndrome in five patients and compressed air injury to the oesophagus in one. All but one patient presented more than 24 h after onset of symptoms, with a mean of 38 (range 12–72) h. All the patients recovered well with no postoperative oesophageal leakage. The mean hospital stay was 11·5 (range 9–15) days. Irrespective of the duration of the oesophageal rupture, aggressive resuscitation and prompt primary suture closure with reinforcement of the suture line with a well vascularized pedicled tissue flap is required for optimal results.
