Abstract
|
|
|
|
Tracheo-cutaneous fistula is a relatively uncommon complication that can occur after trache-otomy. The possibility of fistula increases in proportion to the duration of intubation and it oc-curs due to the transposition of stratified squamous epithelium in the passage between the tra-cheal mucosa and the skin. There are several surgical techniques to repair trachea-cutaneousfistula, such as primary suture, fistulectomy and primary suture, fistulectomy and secondaryintention healing, and using local or regional flap. In addition to these techniques, we wouldlike to introduce a technique used in our hospital.
