Abstract
This report describes a benign tracheogastric fistula that developed 2 years after pharyngoesophagectomy, right radical neck dissection, and pharyngogastric anastomosis for recurrent peristomal squamous cell carcinoma. The fistula most likely developed as the result of inflammatory disease of the trachea, stomach, or both. We discuss the common complications of pharyngogastric anastomosis and its management, as well as the management of the tracheogastric fistula. Β© 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
