Background: We present a case report of a trachea-colonic fistula and demonstrate our unique approach to repair, which was efficient and effective.
Methods: The patient was a 50-year-old man who had a congenital tracheoesophageal fistula repair with colonic interposition as a child who now developed a fistula between his colon and trachea.
Results: We performed a transtracheal approach, with primary closure of redundant colon mucosa as well as direct repair of the trachea.
