Abstract
Thoracic oesophageal gunshot injuries are uncommon, and the morbidity and mortality rates are extremely high and depend on the elapsed time, injury severity, and concomitant organ damage. Thus, early diagnosis is paramount to avoid delays, which in turn confer poorer outcomes. Current management strategies are still controversial and depend on the patient's physiologic state. We experienced two cases of thoracic oesophageal gunshot injury, both of whom were treated by primary repair and were successfully discharged. Decision-making strategies should be based on the patient's physiologic reserve, experience of the attending surgical team, and ancillary services available at the facility.
