Abstract
|
|
|
We have experienced three cases of congenital bronchoesophageal fistula which is rare and usually has an insidious clinical course. The patients included a thirty year old man and thirty six, thirty eight year old women respectively.
Bronchiectatsis was found in all three cases, and bronchoesophageal fistula was found in one case preoperatively by esophagography and esophagoscopy, and other two cases operative field.
The fistula was found between right lower esophagus and right lower oobe in all cases and esophageal diverticulum in one case. So they belonged to type Ⅰ (1 case), Ⅱ (2 cases) of Braimbridge and Keith's classification of congenital
bronchoesophageal
fistula.
The fistulectomy was performed in all cases and concomitant lobectomy (2 cases) and bilobectomy (1 case) were done.
There were toxic hepatitis in two cases and prolonged air leakage in one case postoperatively. They were discharged on recovered state and have continued to do well.
