Repair of recurrent tracheoesophageal fistulas (rTEFs) remains a technically challenging endeavor. Although considered the gold standard, open surgical repair is associated with significant morbidity and rates of recurrence. Over the last 40 years, endoscopic techniques have gained popularity and been touted as a safer first line treatment. This review complies the published articles related to endoscopic repair of rTEFs and reports the various techniques, number of interventions, and success rates. Controversy will remain as to which technique is superior until prospective, multi-institutional studies are performed.
复发性气管食管瘘（rTEF）的修复仍然是一项技术上具有挑战性的工作。尽管开放手术修复被认为是金标准，但它会带来较高的发病率和复发率。在过去40年中，内镜技术越来越受欢迎，并被吹捧为一种更安全的一线治疗方法。这篇综述汇总了与rTEF内镜修复相关的已发表文章，并报告了各种技术、干预次数和成功率。在进行前瞻性、多机构研究之前，哪种技术更优越仍将存在争议。
