Surgical management of huge tracheo-oesophageal fistula with oesophagus segment in situ as replacement of the posterior membranous wall of the trachea.

چکیده
Tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TEF) is an uncommon and potentially life-threatening complication of blunt chest trauma. We describe our surgical experience in a patient with huge TEF (5.6 cm in diameter) and evaluate the short-term results of surgical management by oesophageal exclusion (cervical gastro-oesophagostomy) and show that the use of oesophagus segment in situ as replacement of the posterior membranous wall of the trachea is feasible. Improving the nutrition status and controlling the lung infection were critical in the perioperation period.

Management of giant acquired tracheo-oesophageal fistula in a neonate using an oesophageal patch.
A neonate who underwent arterial switch operation had his postoperative course complicated by the development of tracheo-oesophageal fistula. He underwent multiple reparative procedures, ultimately requiring the oesophagus as a patch to close the large defect in the trachea and subsequent interposition of descending colon to restore the continuity of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
متن کاملAn unusual variation of oesophageal atresia.
Congenital anomalies of the oesophagus were once thought to be relatively rare. Plass in 1919 reported one case and in an exhaustive review of the literature found 136 fully verified cases; he stated that there was some variation in the minor details of the anomaly, but the general picture was uniform -a blind upper pouch ending at a level between the lower border of the larynx and the tracheal...

squamous metaplasia. This change was chiefly in the posterior muscular wall of the trachea, but frequently extended to the lateral and anterior walls of the trachea, and into the bronchi. It is suggested that the primary localization to the muscular trachea is related to the embryology of the congenital deformity, and that secondary factors such as acute infection and oxygen therapy may extend ...
متن کاملThe management of congenital oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula.
Interest in the surgical treatment of congenital atresia of the oesophagus was aroused in this country by the publication of Franklin's paper (1947) in which he reported two infants with oesophageal atresia and tracheo-oesophageal fistula successfully operated on by the extra-pleural approach. The fistula was closed and primary oesophageal anastomosis was performed. Franklin estimated the occur...
متن کاملOffspring of patients with tracheo-oesophageal fistula.
One previous study has shown that the proportion affected of sibs of index patients with tracheo-oesophageal fistula is low. The survivors of the first successful operations for tracheooesophageal fistula are now reaching adult life, thus making possible a preliminary estimate of the proportion affected of children of index patients. From the records of two London hospitals a list of 99 consecu...
