Colon Interposition in Children after Failed Tracheoesophageal Fistula Repair
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most common surgical procedure used to manage tracheoesophageal fistula is the primary anastomosis of the esophagus. However, in the case of failed anastomosis, replacing the esophagus with another organ is necessary. We performed two procedures of colon interposition after failure of tracheoesophageal fistula repair. In those cases, stomach replacement was not possible because of a failed Ivor Lewis operation in one case and duodenal atresia in the other.

In the past, several techniques have been described for the treatment of these fistulas, often with rather disappointing results. It has been suggested that interposition of healthy, well-vascularized tissue may be th...
