ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the application of electronic bronchoscopy in diagnosis of recurrent tracheoe-sophageal fistula of type Ⅲ esophageal atresia. Methods 5 patients were reviewed who were suspected postopera-tive tracheoesophageal fistula recurrence of type Ⅲ esophageal atresia and examined through electronic bron-choscopy combined with injecting Methylene blue into stomach tube from Jan 2010 to Aug 2014. Male to female ra-tio was 4:1. The age was 2~15 months, median age was 7.4 months. Results The 5 cases were found trachea mem-brane fistula by electronic bronchoscope, recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula was diagnosed with Methylene blue in-jected into stomach tube and overflowed from trachea membrane fistula. Examination time is 3~7 minutes, the aver-age is 4.2 minutes. The 5 cases were confirmed by operation.
