Successful surgical management of acquired benign broncho-esophageal fistula- a case report
Abstract
Acquired benign broncho-esophageal
fistula in the adult is rare. We report a
case of successful surgical management
of broncho-esophageal fistula in a 38
year old female presenting to our department
with paroxysms of cough and strangling
for the past 2years .Accurate preoperative
delineation of the fistulous
tract, meticulous surgery with the intra
operative use of upper GI endoscopy
and good post operative care helps in
achieving a successful outcome .
