“…The success rates after surgical treatment of benign acquired TEFs vary according to the literature (Table 5), and fistula recurrence rates of up to 11% have been reported [1,2,5,11,9,[12][13][14]. Although there are no published predictors for TEF recurrence, previous attempted repairs, prior esophagectomy, and laryngectomy seem to be associated with poor outcomes [2,12].…”

“…The traditional approach uses a 2-layer longitudinal suture of the esophagus and segmental tracheal resection with end-to-end anastomosis for the trachea, as described by Grillo et al [4] in 1976. This approach has been reported by other authors with small modifications [5,6,7]. As the general conditions and individual circumstance of these patients are often poor, a precise and effective repair technique is critical.…”
