Tracheoesophageal fistula is a rare complication after esophagectomy, affecting 1.3% of patients studied.
Surgical repair with bovine pericardium patch was successful in maintaining digestive tract continuity across cases.
Patients undergoing repair exhibited high morbidity, with 67% suffering Clavien-Dindo grade IV complications during recovery.
Timely surgical intervention and careful perioperative management appeared to lead to favourable outcomes despite resource intensity.
