Abstract: 
Single lung ventilation is often used for thoracoscopic surgeries mainly for proper surgical exposure. Double lumen tubes are often used for this purpose. In patients undergoing thoracoscopic esophagectomy there are chances of lower airway injury which can lead to respiratory complication. This case report aims to bring to light the inadvertent complications which may occur intraoperatively while the single lung ventilation is used during the procedure.
