Single staged repair of an anastomotic tracheal fistula following Mckeown esophagectomy via cervical incision: a case report
This case demonstrates that in patients identified early, with complete drainage, adequate anti-infection measures, and improved nutritional status, primary closure of the tracheoesophageal junction through the original cervical incision can successfully treat an anastomotic trachea-fistula following esophagectomy. Our report details the process of primary repair of TEF through the cervical approach, contributing additional references to existing literature.
