ALEXANDER, G. HIV post-tuberculous broncho-oesophageal fistulas: A surgical solution. S. Afr. j. surg. [online]. 2017, vol.55, n.2, pp.36-37. ISSN 2078-5151.

We present a patient with HIV/AIDS with multiple tracheo-oesophageal fistulas probably due to previous tuberculosis. An Ivor-Lewis procedure was successfully undertaken following stringent pre-operative preparation. Surgical repair of persistent post-tuberculous tracheo-oesophageal fistulas may be safely undertaken in selected patients with HIV/ AIDS.

Palabras clave : trachea; oesophagus; fistula.
