Key Clinical Message: Button battery ingestion has been a common condition encountered by otorhinolaryngologists. Impaction in the esophagus can lead to serious and fatal complications such as tracheoesophageal fistula. Management involves a multidisciplinary team and varies from supportive therapy to surgical intervention.
Abstract: Ingestion of button batteries has been seen with increasing frequency over the past decade. In several small numbers of reported cases, their impaction in the esophagus has led to severe, sometimes fatal, complications. The management of these cases has varied from expectant, supportive therapy to early surgical intervention. We report a case of button battery ingestion that was diagnosed late and resulted in a complication of tracheoesophageal fistula with migration to the thorax which was managed by open surgery.

Esophageal stricture is the most common and disabling complication of esophageal injury caused by ingestion of corrosive substances. In our case, the patient developed esophageal stenosis due to ingestion of strong alkaline substances and underwent colon replacement surgery after repeated failed dilation treatments. After surgery, anastomotic stenosis and tracheocolonic fistula occurred successively, and the entire diagnosis and treatment cycle of this disease lasted for more than 20 years.

Background: In cases of tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), closure of the fistula by tracheal stent implantation is an effective treatment. In this study, we investigated the efficacy and complications of silicone and metallic tracheal stents for TEF.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent tracheal stent insertion for TEF between January 2021 and April 2024 at our institution.

Background: Elective ventilation and paralysis have been shown to decrease the anastomosis-related complications following primary repair of esophageal atresia (EA). Repeated endotracheal tube (ETT) block and replacement can increase these complications. We evaluated the results of our strategy of electively changing the ETT just before shifting the patient to the postoperative ward for elective ventilation.

We herein report a neonatal case showing specific findings of blood perfusion in the anastomosed esophagus of esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence during thoracoscopic surgery. The patient was a 3054 g, 0-day neonatal boy diagnosed with EA-TEF based on a coil-up sign of the nasogastric tube. Thoracoscopic surgery was performed on Day 4 after birth.
