Abstract
Secondary tracheo-oesophageal fistula in delayed primary repair of oesophageal atresia is rare. This paper reports the successful use of the KTP laser in the treatment of this condition in a refractory case. It also recommends the use of direct laryngotracheobronchoscopy (DLTB) in the diagnosis. We recommend the use of this laser in cases of recurrent tracheo-esophageal fistula especially when other means have failed. Copyright 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.Entities:
