Atypical manifestation of postoperative complications after esophagectomy in a patient with severe COVID-19 infection: Can COVID-19 interfere with anastomosis healing? Case Report
Original language description
Backsground: Esophagectomy is burdened by a significant percentage of morbidity and mortality. Anastomotic leak is one of the dreaded complications. Case report: A 69-year-old man with a diagnosis of distal oesophageal carcinoma was indicated for laparoscopy-assisted transhiatal hybrid esophagectomy with gastric tube anastomosis on a cervical oesophagus stump. During postoperative period CT examination repeatedly ruled out an anastomotic leak. On day 10, COVID-19 infection was detected. Late presentation of the anastomotic leak developed on day 22. Discussion: The late manifestation of the anastomotic leak is relatively unusual. COVID-19 may have been involved in these complications by microvascular thrombosis and dysregulation of the inflammatory process. Conclusion: COVID-19 can interfere with postoperative tissue healing and the care management in COVID positive patients should contemplate this.
