ABSTRACT

We report a case of a 26 years-old man, who had a tracheocutaneous fistula, after being 8 month with a tracheostomy canula, due to his ventilatory management handled by the critical care unit. We use the closure of the fistula with a 3-plane flap (mucosa, muscle and skin), at the same surgical moment, as a good option. In this patient, neither complications nor relapse were presented in a four years follow up.
