【 摘 要 】

Injuries related to button battery ingestion have become increasingly common in children. Recognition of battery ingestion is often delayed and thus leads to serious esophageal injury. Resultant distal acquired tracheoesophageal fistulas are difficult to safely access and repair. Herein, we report the multidisciplinary repair of a distal tracheoesophageal injury, secondary to battery ingestion, via an innovative trans-cervical surgical approach.
