Robotic repair of an esophago–left main bronchial fistula using a pedicled autologous pericardial patch and latissimus dorsi muscle flap: a novel technique after chemoradiotherapy for cT4b esophageal cancer

Abstract Once an esophago–airway fistula develops during chemoradiotherapy for cT4b esophageal cancer, further curative treatment is often precluded. We describe a robotic technique for closure of a large esophago–left main bronchial fistula using a pedicled autologous pericardia...
