Colobronchial fistula as a rare complication of coloesophageal interposition: a unique treatment with a review of the medical literature.

Colobronchial fistula after coloesophageal interposition is a rare complication that has only been reported once in the English surgical literature. We report the case of a 53-year-old man who presented with chronic respiratory complaints. He had previously undergone esophagectomy for adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction. The fistula was controlled by placement of a Polyflex esophageal stent.
