Zusammenfassung:A 15‐year‐old male with previous open tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) repair presented with a large, short recurrent TEF. The TEF was denuded with cautery on the tracheal side and the patient was intubated with a cuffed endotracheal tube. Suspension microesophagoscopy allowed excellent exposure of the TEF from the esophageal side, which was cauterized. Four sutures were placed endoscopically from the esophageal side, and the TEF remained closed 6 months postoperatively. Laryngoscope, 134:4114–4117, 2024
