Trichloroacetic Acid for Endoscopic Tracho-esophageal Fistula Repair

January 31, 2011 updated by: Hadassah Medical Organization

Today Endoscopic repair of recurrent Tracheesophageal fistula (TEF) is a safe procedure. Using Trichlosiacetic acid 50% (TCA) for endoscopic aplication of the fistula was reported with a good results ( 4 cases). There were no serious advers effects.

The investigators want to use also TCA 50% for endoscopic repair in children with recurrent TEF.
