- W2076324360 abstract "Objective: We present our modest experience in treating tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) in polytrauma patients where tracheal resection turns to be risky due to the size of the fistula and to the general condition of the patient. Materials and methods: Four polytrauma patients, three male and one female were treated at our department due to postintubation TEF. Confirmation was obtained endoscopically and radiologically. Surgical treatment consisted of identification and dissection of the fistulous tract and closure of the tracheal defect by transposing strap muscles and suturing them to the defect. Finally, the oesophageal defect was closed and a flap of sternocleidomastoid muscle was interposed between oesophagus and trachea. Results: There was no intraoperative mortality. Three of our patients had an excellent result. The one who unfortunately returned to mechanical ventilation due to respiratory insufficiency developed a recurrent fistula. Conclusions: (1) Repair of postintubation TEF should be delayed until the patient is fully stabilised and weaned from ventilation. (2) Indirect closure of the tracheal defect with strap muscle transposition and sternocleidomastoid muscle interposition between oesophagus and trachea can be lifesaving.
