Core Tip	It is unclear to which extent esophageal stenting can heal esophageal perforation-rupture in unselected patients. In this single institution study 83.3% of all benign esophageal perforations/ruptures of mixed etiology, excluding anastomotic leakages, were treated with stent with an intention to heal the perforation, as first-line treatment during a 10-year period. Eighty-two point five percent recovered after stenting and no further intervention was required. Time between perforation and placement of stent emerged as potential risk factor for failure of stenting. The high rate of stenting as primary treatment may have contributed to the relatively low overall in-hospital mortality of 10.4%.
