Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a serious complication associated with impaired quality of life. However, a successful TEF closure is difficult owing to the high incidence of recurrence. We utilized a prefabricated deltopectoral (DP) flap for closure of a TEF that occurred after an extended total thyroidectomy. Prefabrication of the inner soft tissue lining the DP flap with a split skin graft was performed prior to surgical closure of a TEF. Esophageal and tracheal mucosa were sutured to the split thickness side and full thickness side of the prefabricated DP flap, respectively. A successful closure of the fistula was achieved with this procedure. Prefabricated DP flap is a useful procedure for the surgical treatment of TEF.
气管食管瘘(TEF)是一种与生活质量受损相关的严重并发症。然而,由于复发率高,成功闭合TEF具有挑战性。我们采用预制胸大肌皮瓣(DP瓣)来闭合在扩大全甲状腺切除术后出现的TEF。在手术闭合TEF之前,用中厚皮片对DP瓣内衬的内部软组织进行预制。分别将食管和气管黏膜缝合至预制DP瓣的中厚侧和全厚侧。通过该手术成功闭合了瘘管。预制DP瓣是治疗TEF的一种有效手术方法。
