Abstract

Isolated tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a rare condition with a previously reported high incidence of vocal cord paresis. A technique using recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring is described as a strategy to potentially minimize the risk of vocal cord dysfunction in this patient population.
