Introduction: This case report describes bleeding from an iatrogenic thoracic aortic injury in minimally invasive thoracoscopic esophagectomy. Case report: A 53-year-old man underwent neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus with positive lymph nodes. PET/CT showed only a partial response after neoadjuvant therapy. Minimally invasive thoracoscopic esophagectomy in the semi-prone position with selective intuba- tion of the left lung was performed. However, massive bleeding from the thoracic aorta during separation of the tumor resulted in conversion from minimally invasive to conventional right thoracotomy. The bleeding was caused by a five millimeter rupture of the thoracic aorta. The thoracic aortic rupture was treated by suture with a gore prosthesis in collaboration with a vascular surgeon. Esophagestomy was not completed due to hypovolemic shock. Hybrid transhiatal esophagectomy was performed on the seventh day after the primary operation. Definitive histological examination showed T3N3M0 adenocarcinoma. Conclusion: Esophagectomy for cancer of the esophagus is one of the most difficult operations in general surgery in which surgical bleeding from the surrounding structures cannot be excluded. Aortic hemorrhage is hemodynamically significant in all cases and requires urgent surgical treatment.

Comprehensive emergency managements and early stabilization are pivotal upon treating complex pelvic and acetabular fractures. A thorough operative strategy is required to determine the best operative approach based on the patient’s general condition, available facilities, and surgeon preferences in such complex fracture configuration. Advanced technique of the fixation is necessary during a skillful execution of surgery in order to achieve good treatment results. An 18-years-old female crushed by a bus upon crossing street, presented with hypovolemic shock with ISS polytrauma score 50 consisting of right acetabular associated both column fracture, bilateral pelvic fracture anteroposterior compression type 3, and coccygeal fracture with bilateral drop foot. She underwent emergency laparotomy, had her ovary, bladder, and intestine primarily sutured, and then we immobilized the pelvic using anterior frame external fixator, which was maintained for 6 days. Upon stable condition, we performed right ilioinguinal approach and modified Stoppa with lateral window for the left side, while Kocher-Langenbeck technique was used to approach the posterior acetabular column. Postoperative radiology showed an adequate internal fixation in both right acetabular columns, successful reconstruction of pelvic ring which was fixated the left ischium, left superior and inferior pubic rami, and full restoration of left sacroiliac joint disruption. Majeed pelvic outcome score was 54, while Hannover pelvic outcome score was good and the patient was able to sit without pain 2 months postoperative. Management of complex pelvic-acetabular-coccygeal fracture requires a holistic chain of treatment by emphasizing the prompt emergency management, accurate preoperative planning, and excellent execution of reconstructive surgical strategy to achieve satisfactory outcome.
