Jejunum for bridging long-gap esophageal atresia.
OBJECTIVE Exploring pros and cons of bridging long-gap esophageal atresia with an orthotopic jejunal pedicle graft. Retrospective series of 19 patients. METHODS From 1988 through 2005, 19 patients with long-gap esophageal atresia received a jejunal graft. Median age at reconstruction was 76 days. The technique involved an initial right-sided thoracotomy or thoracoscopy to confirm the diagnosi...
متن کاملAn effective method to release anastomotic tension after repair of esophageal atresia using a Foley catheter.
Esophageal atresia (EA) is the most common malformation of the esophagus. Primary anastomosis is achievable in more than 90% of the cases and the milestone of the surgical intervention is achieving a watertight, low-tension anastomosis of the esophageal pouches. The purpose of this paper is to present a new method for releasing tension in the anastomosis and also to provide a safe way for enter...
متن کاملLengthening technique for long gap esophageal atresia and early anastomosis.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE The treatment of long gap esophageal atresia remains a major surgical challenge. Whereas many approaches have been used for this problem, none are ideal. The authors used a technique originally described by Dr John E. Foker and accomplished early repair in 3 infants with long gap atresia. METHODS Three infants with esophageal atresia underwent thoracotomy shortly after birt...
متن کاملCongenital Esophageal Stenosis Associated with Esophageal Atresia and Gasless Abdomen
SUMMARY A radiologically gasless abdomen in a neonate with EA is usually regarded as being pathognomonic of an absence of distal T.E.F. It has been estimated that up to 1.5% of patient with a distal fistula may have a radiologically gasless abdomens as a manifestation of a very small fistula plugged with mucus. In this case a contrast study via the gastrostomy demonstrated a fistula between th...
متن کاملSurgical outcomes of different approaches to esophageal replacement in long-gap esophageal atresia
BACKGROUND Esophageal replacement (ER) surgery has been widely used in long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) over the past few decades. The most commonly used surgical approaches in many pediatric surgical centers include colon interposition (CI), gastric pull-up (GPU), jejunal interposition (JI), and gastric tube reconstruction (GTR). However, there is no systematic evidence on which is the optim...
