| Abstract | In the COVID-19 era the tracheal complications due to prolonged mechanical ventilation have significantly increased. Acquired tracheoesophageal fistula is one of those in ventilated COVID-19 patients. Thus, the knowledge of their management in such fragile patient is crucial. We report a case of tracheoesophageal fistula in a 56-year-old female under prolonged mechanical ventilation for COVID-19 bilateral pneumonia and discuss its management. A surgical approach was proposed. By a collar-shaped transverse cervicotomic access, we transected the trachea at level of fistula en-bloc with the tracheostoma. The esophageal lesion was longitudinally repaired in two-layers. Protective left strap muscle was sandwiched between esophagus and trachea. The tracheal end-to-end anastomosis was completed without a re-tracheostoma. Even if surgical approach of tracheoesophageal fistula in COVID-19 patients has not been tested before, surgery remains the treatment of choice according to the multidisciplinary board. |
