Congenital anomalies of the branchial arches are well known with fistulas presenting in the head and neck region. A proper diagnosis of this uncommon entity is mandatory for a successful surgical repair in the first attempt itself. In this case report, we profile a patient who was subjected to multiple surgeries only to result in subsequent breakdowns and resurfacing of symptoms. An innovative attempt was made with the use of endoscopes and minimally invasive surgical methods to repair this recurrent fistula and followed up with a repeat fistulogram which showed a complete closure of the tract without any co-morbidity.
