A new operative approach for long-gap esophageal atresia
2019
Surgical management of long-gap esophageal
atresia(LGEA) remains challenging. Yet, there is a consensus among pediatric surgeons to preserve native
esophagus. We used a new surgical technique to successfully manage three children diagnosed with LGEA. This technique consists of a combined thoracic and cervical approach to the EA repair using the patient's native
esophagus. All patients initially had had
gastrostomyand continuous upper pouch suction while awaiting surgery. This new technique has the potential to become the choice method in LGEA management.
