Surgical treatment of esophago-vertebral fistula and vertebral osteomyelitis after voice prosthesis insertion

Key Points

• Surgical treatment effectively addresses esophago-vertebral fistula complications post-voice prosthesis insertion, enhancing patient recovery.
• Infection control remains critical for patients experiencing vertebral osteomyelitis associated with voice prosthesis use.
• Procedures include resections and reconstructions to mitigate severe complications, indicating a multidisciplinary approach.
• Results suggest that careful management of voice prosthesis can reduce the incidence of such surgical complications.
