%X Acquired benign tracheoesophageal fistula is a rare and challenging clinical condition requiring the combined efforts of team management. Numerous causes have been documented, the most common of which are endotracheal and tracheostomy tube-related injuries. The classic clinical presentation is a persistent and intense cough following deglutition. It is confirmed by endoscopic procedures on the aerodigestive tracts, and graphic displays of the fistula can be obtained from images obtained from contrast studies. Successful management mostly requires good preoperative preparation, careful intraoperative dissections at a single-stage intervention, and excellent postoperative care.
