Patients with this complication are prone to aspirate gastric content resulting in pulmonary infections with recurrent fever, hemoptysis, bronchitis, lung abscess and bronchiectasis. Mortality rates of pulmonary sepsis due to GBF are quite high. Gastrobronchial fistula should be suspected in patients developing pneumonia after esophagogastric surgery because early diagnosis and treatment are life saving. In this article, gastroesophageal fistulas detected after esophageal surgery in two patients were discussed with review of the literature.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEsophagogastric SurgeryGastrobronchial FistulaManagementArticle731N/AQ41822WOS:000409826400003
