title: Novel technique of repair of large tracheo-esophageal fistula  following battery ingestion in children: review of two cases.
abstract: Surgical repair of acquired tracheo-esophageal fistula may result in tracheal stenosis or esophageal stricture. We used fistula with esophageal cuff as flap to repair the tracheal defect. Esophageal repair was performed by rotating ends through 90° in opposite direction. This technique offers excellent repair in a single stage.
