Thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia through the right chest in neonates with right-sided aortic arch.

چکیده
The management of neonates with esophageal atresia (EA) associated with right-sided aortic arch (RAA) is often difficult technically. Many surgeons would advise for repair through left-chest access. In this article, we report our experience of repairing 2 patients with EA associated with RAA thoracoscopically. We conclude that thoracoscopic repair is ideal for all patients with EA.

Anatomic Thoracoscopic Repair of Esophageal Atresia
BACKGROUND The thoracoscopic approach to repair esophageal atresia (EA) with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) provides excellent view, allowing the most skillful surgeons to spare the azygos vein by performing the esophageal anastomosis over (on the right side) the azygos vein. Seeking the most anatomic repair, we started to perform the esophageal anastomosis underneath (on the left side) the az...

متن کاملThoracoscopic esophagectomy in the prone position for esophageal cancer with right aortic arch: case report.
A congenital anomaly of the right aortic arch (RAA) is rare, and esophageal cancer associated with the vascular ring is even more rare. In such cases, it is very important to understand the anatomical situation in the upper mediastinum in order to perform a safe and curative operation. A 52-year-old man who presented with odynophagia was admitted to our department after a diagnosis of advanced ...
