Development of an enterocutaneous fistula after anastomotic leakage often occurs after subcutaneous-route reconstruction at esophagectomy. Pectoralis myocutaneous flap (PMCF) repair has recently been performed when an enterocutaneous fistula was refractory to conservative treatment. However, this procedure requires a conspicuous incision and results in deformity of the breast especially in female patient. We performed pectoralis muscle flap (PMF) repair for a 50-year-old woman with a refractory enterocutaneous fistula after salvage esophagectomy. We made an oblique incision along the inframammary crease in order to avoid a conspicuous scar and moved the PMF under the mammary gland to the site of anastomosis. This method was effective for repairing a refractory enterocutaneous fistula, with especially good aesthetic results in a female patient., Acta medica Nagasakiensia, 64(2), pp.61-63; 2020}, pages = {61--63}, title = {Aesthetic pectoral muscle flap repair for refractory enterocutaneous fistula after salvage esophagectomy in a female patient}, volume = {64}, year = {2020} }
