A case of ulcerative tracheoesophageal fistula following long term respiratory support is described. After establishing the diagnosis of TEF, an attempt at surgical repair should be made as quickly as patient's condition permits it, ideally immediately. We suggest right side thoracotomy with the resection of the fourth rib, thereby facilitating preparation of a pedicled flap which should be interponated between trachea and esophagus after the closure of the esophagus defect by sutures has been performed.
In this paper 44 operations in patients with cardiac pacemakers have been reported. Electrosurgical instruments were used in almost all cases. It was noted, that neither a disturbance of the pacemaker nor of the heart stimulated by it occured during or after operation. A premature exhaustion of the battery was not observed.
