AbstractOxidized regenerated cellulose (Surgicel(®)) is a commonly used material in Pediatric Surgery. We present a case of recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula (RTEF) repaired by Surgicel(®). In this case, tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) recurred due to migration of Surgicel into the tracheal and esophageal lumen. Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
