Conservative treatment with tracheal montgomery® T-tube in anastomotic leak due to total pharyngolaryngeal esophagectomy

Abstract

Following total pharyngolaryngeal esophagectomy and gastric pull up, anastomotic leaks are the most important complications that increase the postoperative morbidity and mortality. In this study, we would like to present a patient who underwent Montgomery® (Boston Medical Products) tracheal T-tube placement due to anastomotic leak after gastric pull-up and laryngectomy performed for a cervical esophageal tumor. © 2017 OMU.
