Acquired benign tracheo‑oesophageal fistula secondary to oesophageal stenting for post lye ingestion stenosis: A case report.

Acquired benign trachea-oesophageal fistula is a rare benign pathological entity with varying aetiologies that most often occurs post-intubation. This case report presents the case of a female patient, 31 years old, admitted to the emergency room with sepsis syndrome following bilateral aspiration pneumonia caused by a large trachea-oesophageal fistula. The fistula was the result of intra-tracheal migration of an oesophageal stent placed for post lye ingestion stenosis.

Comparative Study of Early Postoperative Complications: Thoracic Anastomosis vs Cervical Anastomosis - in Esophageal Replacement with Gastric Graft.

Gastric pull-up is the most commonly used procedure for esophageal replacement in both malignant and benign conditions. In our article we compare the differences in mortality and morbidity between thoracic anastomosis and cervical anastomosis during gastric pull-up. The study group comprised of 126 patients - 58 patients (56%) with cervical anastomosis and 68 patients (64%) with thoracic anastomosis.

Postintubation Tracheoesophageal Fistula - Diagnosis, Treatment and Prognosis.

Unlabelled: Postintubation tracheoesophageal fistula is a severe complication occurring under certain conditions in patients that require prolonged mechanical ventilation.

Material And Methods: This article focuses on a sample of 11 patients with postintubation tracheoesophageal fistula, operated in our department between 2005 and 2015. The anterior approach with tracheal resection was performed in 10 of these patients, while an atypical surgical technique was preferred in a case involving a large-sized fistula.

[Iatrogenic tracheal stenosis in patients with COPD: a medico-surgical challenge].

This study analyzes a series of iatrogenic tracheal stenosis occurring in patients with COPD exacerbation which required oro-tracheal intubation. The tracheal stenosis occurred on average after 24 days of intubation and were clinically severe. Treatment algorithm first included bronchoscopic interventional techniques with an immediate success rate of 37%, but the results were unstable in time, requiring tracheal stenting.

[Tracheal stenosis--diagnostic and therapeutic principles, results].

Between November 2001-April 2010, 107 tracheal resections were performed in our department for different types of tracheal stenosis: iatrogenic or tumoral, benign or malignant. We present the diagnosis and treatment principles that we used, along with our results. We operated on 74 (69.
