Abstract
The development of a fistula between the gastric tube and the bronchial system represents a very rare but potentially catastrophic complication after intrathoracic esophagogastrostomy for esophageal carcinoma. A 67-years-old male patient, who underwent Ivor-Lewis surgery due to esophageal carcinoma six years ago, had persistence of complaints especially to increased cough immediately after food intake.
Özet
Özofagus kanseri için yapılan intratorasik özofago-gastrik anostomoz sonrasında, tüpleştirilmiş mide ile bronşial sistem arasındaki fistül gelişimi, çok nadir fakat hayatı tehdit edici bir komplikasyondur. Özofagus kanseri nedeniyle altı yıl önce Ivor-Lewis operasyonu geçiren 67 yaşında erkek hasta, özellikle gıdaları aldıktan hemen sonra görülen dirençli öksürük şikâyeti ile müracaat etti.
