- Abstract
Minimally invasive surgeries have been developed, not only for gastrointestinal cancer, but also for benign or emergency cases. We report the case of a 62‐year‐old male who underwent laparoscopic and thoracoscopic combined surgery for an esophago‐mediastinal fistula caused by a press‐through package. In the initial laparoscopic phase, transhiatal dissection of the lower thoracic esophagus and harvesting of the greater omentum were performed. In the thoracoscopic phase, resection of the fistula and esophageal wall closure were performed. Thereafter, the greater omentum was lifted via the esophageal hiatus and wrapped around the repaired part of the esophagus for reinforcement. The total operative time was 371 min, with 163 and 208 min for the laparoscopic and thoracoscopic phases, respectively. In total, 20 ml of blood was lost. No perioperative complications or recurrences were observed. Laparoscopic and thoracoscopic combined omentoplasty was effective for refractory esophago‐mediastinal fistula.
