Abstract

Abstract

Benign tracheo-neo-esophageal (Gastric) fistula, which occuring after total esophagectomy and laryngectomy, is a rare but life-threatening complication. Tracheo-esophageal fistula and valve-voice prosthesis are used as alternative to the artificial larynx for laryngectomy patients. Fistula symptoms have been occurred due to the erosion formed of gastric acid around the prosthesis within the fistula area in our case.

Keywords: Esophagectomy, laryngectomy, fistula
