Abstract:
Objective To investigate the application of electronic bronchoscopy in diagnosis of recurrent tracheoe-sophageal fistula of type Ⅲ esophageal atresia. Methods 5 patients were reviewed who were suspected postopera-tive tracheoesophageal fistula recurrence of type Ⅲ esophageal atresia and examined through electronic bron-choscopy combined with injecting Methylene blue into stomach tube from Jan 2010 to Aug 2014. Male to female ra-tio was 4:1. The age was 2~15 months, median age was 7.4 months. Results The 5 cases were found trachea mem-brane fistula by electronic bronchoscope, recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula was diagnosed with Methylene blue in-jected into stomach tube and overflowed from trachea membrane fistula. Examination time is 3~7 minutes, the aver-age is 4.2 minutes. The 5 cases were confirmed by operation. Conclusion Electronic bronchoscopy combined with injecting Methylene blue into stomach tube to diagnose recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula is safe and feasible, the time is short and the diagnosis rate is high.
