The clinical case of a patient with esophageal
stenosis after caustic ingestion is presented
with dysphagia to liquids, so a transhiatal
esophagectomy was performed with gastric
tube technique alternatively for esophageal
replacement mediastinal rise and feeding
jejunostomy. After the procedure, it has a
fistula in the proximal anastomosis cervical
level and a pleural effusion is drained through
bilateral pleural drainage. It is managed
conservatively without disfunctionalization
of the cervical fistula by semi-rigid drain
with spontaneous closure and the patient is
discharged after tolerated diet
