Two cases of tracheoesophageal fistula after esophagectomy illustrate diagnostic challenges and management strategies, indicating the need for individualized treatment plans.

Key Points

Tracheoesophageal fistula is a rare complication after esophagectomy, requiring individualized management strategies.
Case 1 experienced successful surgical closure by postoperative day 74 after complex management, highlighting the importance of timely intervention.
Case 2 struggled with persistent fistula managed conservatively, ultimately requiring palliative care and indicating treatment limitations.
These cases emphasize the necessity for multidisciplinary approaches to optimize outcomes for patients with tracheoesophageal fistula.
