Accepted for publication February 24, 1995.

Fistulas between trachea and esophagogastric anastomosis after esophagectomy are uncommon. We describe 2 patients with such a lesion successfully managed with single-stage repair. The fistula was divided, the tracheal defect was closed directly or with a free pericardial graft, and the esophagogastric anastomosis was redone. A muscle or pleural flap was used to separate the tracheal and digestive suture lines. This treatment of a potentially life-threatening condition yielded excellent results without postoperative complications.
