Primary Repair of Gastrobronchial Fistula Presenting 12 Years Post Uncomplicated Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
GBF diagnosis is challenging. Imaging studies, such as CT and radiography with contrast and endoluminal diagnosis with esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), bronchoscopy, and bronchial secretion analysis, aid in the diagnosis. GBF management requires a multidisciplinary team. Patients should be initially offered conservative management with the understanding that reoperation would be the only option if failure is seen for 3 months.
