In brief
This article describes an intraoperative neuromonitoring technique for recurrent laryngeal nerve protection during isolated H-type tracheoesophageal fistula repair. The approach aims to reduce the historically high incidence of vocal cord paresis in this rare congenital anomaly.
Written by the GCMD Library team from the article.
Abstract
Isolated tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a rare condition with a previously reported high incidence of vocal cord paresis. A technique using recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring is described as a strategy to potentially minimize the risk of vocal cord dysfunction in this patient population.
