| Summary: | The recurrence of a tracheoesophageal fistula (TOF) is
a known complication that follows a primary operative
repair of a TOF. It is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge
due to its significant morbidity. Treatment options include
open surgical repair or endoscopic repair of the fistula.
We present a case of a recurrent TOF in an 11-month-old
girl with tetralogy of fallot that was treated successfully
via endoscopic approach with electrocautery and tissue
adhesive. |
