[Details concerning a surgical technic in a case of esophagotracheal fistula].
The authors present a surgical technique for the treatment of oeso-tracheal fistula located in the left supra-hylar fossa, by mobilization of the aorta and ligature of the first intercostal arteries, which provide sufficient light for the surgical procedures. The technique described is illustrated by a personal observation demonstrating its value by the simplicity of the post-operative evolution and the complete recovery. Stressing the difficulty encountered in the pre- and intraoperative localization of the fistula, the authors consider that the technique proposed by them is the type of the necessity technique, the only one allowing to perform a direct surgical approach of the fistula at this level.
