We report a 49-year-old patient with COVID-19 who developed lung abscess, pleural empyema, and tracheo-esophageal fistula. He underwent cervicotomy, segmental tracheal resection, esophageal-tracheal fistula excision, and suturing the esophagus, and a classic thoracotomy was performed. Despite the severe infection, the patient was discharged home after successful surgical treatment.
