RESUMO
The most common surgical procedure used to manage tracheoesophageal fistula is the primary anastomosis of the esophagus. However, in the case of failed anastomosis, replacing the esophagus with another organ is necessary. We performed two procedures of colon interposition after failure of tracheoesophageal fistula repair. In those cases, stomach replacement was not possible because of a failed Ivor Lewis operation in one case and duodenal atresia in the other.

Jejunum and fasciocutaneous and myocutaneous flaps are theoretically recommended as esophageal substitutes in reconstruction of the esophagus after several occurrences of failed reconstruction. However, other esophageal substitutes should also be considered. Secondary esophageal reconstruction was successfully performed on a 24-year- old woman who had a history of cervical, thoracic, and abdominal operations and esophageal stricture secondary to several failed reconstructions for esophageal atresia and tracheo-esophageal fistula 21 years prior. The esophageal reconstruction was done subcutaneously by end-to-side anastomosis at the left cervical area using a deformed stomach graft. The patient was discharged with the ability to consume a regular diet after the operation.

A communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (CBPFM) is a rare congenital anomaly that is characterized by a fistula between isolated respiratory tissue and the esophagus or stomach. The presence of accessory lung tissue arising from the primitive gastrointestinal tube is a common factor in the development of all forms of bronchopulmonary foregut malformations. Recurrent pneumonia associated with cystic radiographic structures is a characteristic of the condition. Further imaging studies using esophagogram, bronchography, computerized tomography, MRI, and arteriography can help in making a diagnostic evaluation. The treatment is a surgical resection of the involved lung tissue, and fistula closure with a good prognosis. We encountered a case of CBPFM, who presented with an extralobar pulmonary sequestration and bronchogenic cyst communicating with a tubular esophageal duplication that was associated with a complete left pericardial defect.
