Extracorporeal lung support for tracheoesophageal fistula surgical repair with free flap
International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery(2022)
摘要
Tracheoesophageal fistula results in persistent leakage of saliva into the trachea, prevents oral feeding, and predisposes to aspiration pneumonia. Large fistula closure may require a free flap to cover the defect. When the defect involves the tracheal area between the neck and the mediastinum, a tubeless field for optimal exposure can be advantageous. This article reports the use of veno-venous extracorporeal lung support, a known safe and efficient technique to support the patient’s respiratory function, for this purpose. The typical veno-venous extracorporeal lung support setting includes a femoro-jugular bypass. The patient cases reported here had characteristics that precluded the use of the jugular vein, such as neck radiation dermatitis, previous radical neck dissection, and poor accessibility. Therefore a more rarely described femoro-femoral approach was used. The cases of three patients with persistent tracheoesophageal fistula who had free flap surgeries (two bi-paddled radial forearm free flap and one latissimus dorsi muscle free flap) assisted by femoro-femoral veno-venous extracorporeal lung support are reported.
