Abstract:
We reported a patient intubated for more than 30 d following brain injury, transferred to our department with tracheocutaneous fistula and a 2 cm fistula between the trachea and the esophagus. We performed tracheal resection and esophageal closure with a latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap interposed between suture lines. The patient continued mechanical ventilation after surgery and the tracheotomy was achieved 14 d after the beginning of surgical treatment. The patient was started oral feeding and discharged on the 10 d after tracheotomy and referred to a neuromotor recovery clinic for treatment of post-traumatic sequelae.
