Fistulectomy is a surgical procedure where a surgeon completely removes a fistula, an abnormal tract (i.e. tube) that connects two hollow spaces of the body.

The purpose of the puncture is to restore a person’s ability to speak after the vocal cords have been removed. This involves creation of a fistula between the trachea and the esophagus, puncturing the short segment of tissue or “common wall” that typically separates these two structures. A voice prosthesis is inserted into this puncture.

Types of biliary fistula include: bilioenteric fistula: abnormal connection to small bowel, usually duodenum. thoracobiliary fistula: abnormal connection to pleural space or bronchus (rare).
