A patient underwent tracheo-esophageal anastomosis following repeated episodes of aspiration pneumonia after the resection of a meningioma at foramen magnum. The surgery eliminated the intractable problem with aspiration. This procedure is reversible, and restoration of the laryngeal function can be accomplished when the patient has recovered neurologically. If adequate neurologic recovery does not occur, the anastomosis can be left intact indefinitely.
一名患者在枕骨大孔脑膜瘤切除术后反复发生吸入性肺炎,随后接受了气管食管吻合术。手术消除了吸入性的棘手问题。该手术是可逆的,当患者神经功能恢复时,喉功能可恢复。如果神经功能未充分恢复,吻合口可无限期保持完整。
