Tracheal flap after percutaneous dilatational tracheotomy.

A and B, arrows) that moved synchronously with the respiratory cycle and obstructed more than 80% of the lumen during expiration (fig. B). The reinsertion of the tracheotomy tube trapped the flap between the tube itself and the anterior tracheal wall, and...

Statements have recently appeared in various medical journals that serious lesions may occur as a result of the operation of tracheotomy without manifesting their presence till some time after the wound has healed. The details given are very meagre, but they indicate that the most important of these late sequelae are conditions causing stenosis of the tracheal lumen. My attention was first draw...
full textOver-the-scope clip to close a fistula after removing a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tube.
(PEG) feeding is indicated in patients with increased nutritional requirements, such as patients with cystic fibrosis [1]. Refractory gastrocutaneous fistulas are a recognised complication following PEG tube removal. We describe the case of a patient with a nonhealing gastrocutaneous fistula that was successfully closed using an over-the-scope clip (OTSC). Following PEG tube removal, a patient ...

Subtotal esophagectomy with retrosternal transposition of the gastric tube to the neck was performed in a 62-year-old patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the proximal third of the esophagus. He developed a salivatory fistula in the early postoperative period that healed spontaneously. Five months later, the patient developed partial stenosis of the esophagogastric anastomosis which required...
