We herein report a case of unsuturable tracheoesophageal fistula developed after chemotherapy of a mediastinal lymphoma. Esophageal exclusion was primary performed to prevent continued contamination of the respiratory tract. In a second stage procedure the fistula was patched with the esophageal posterior wall and the digestive tract was restored by a substernal colic bypass. This case leads to...

This article reviews (a) risk factors and preoperative considerations of the patient with tracheoesophageal fistula, (b) anesthetic management, including (i) airway management, (ii) induction of anesthesia and monitoring and (iii) postoperative disposition, (c) considerations for concomitant congenital heart disease, (d) considerations for thoracoscopic repair and (e) long-term outcomes and con...

rare complication caused by a variety of conditions. Along with trauma and malignancy, cuff-related tracheal injury has become the most common etiology. As few cases have been reported, with different clinical presentations and solutions for treatment, the results and conclusions are difficult to interpret [1–3]. This report describes a new, practical approach to the treatment of large tracheoe...

Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) without associated esophageal atresia (EA) is a rare congenital anomaly. Diagnosis in neonatal period is usually not made and most of the patients are treated as cases of pneumonia. A case of H-type of tracheoesophageal fistula, diagnosed within 24 hours of delivery based upon choking and cyanosis on first trial of feed, is being reported. Diagnosis was confirmed...

RATIONALE Congenital esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) ininfants have been treated well with surgery. Approximately 10% of children displayed recurrent fistula. In the present case, we reported recurrent TEF in an adolescent as a complication of EA/TEF in infancy. PATIENT CONCERNS An infant was diagnosed with gross type C congenital EA and TEF and subsequentlyunderwe...

Background: In infants with esophageal atresia/tracheoesophageal fistula, excessive salivation, coughing, choking, cyanosis, and regurgitation associated attempts to eat may be seen, as well aspiration of gastric contents. Thus difficulties encountered during anesthetic management include ineffective ventilation due an endotracheal tube placed in the massive dilatation, preexisting severe lung ...

Surgical glues have been used in pediatric surgery because of the fragility of tissue, and to prevent major surgeries. The present report describes our experience with using a new cya-noacrylate Glubran 2 (Viareggio, Italy) in the treatment of five cases of tracheoesophageal atresia with fistula (one fistula protection, three recurrent fistula, and one unstable patients), two cases of hypospadi...

background: the most common congenital abnormality of esophagus is esophageal atresia (ea) that can occur with or without tracheoesophageal fistula. other associated anomalies are the leading cause of death in these patients. the present study aimed to evaluate the main complication, outcomes and cause of death in neonate with ea repaired in amirkola children’s hospital (ach), iran within a 13 ...
