Staged Thoracoscopic Repair of Long-Gap Esophageal Atresia Without Temporary Gastrostomy.

TL;DR: The staged thoracoscopic approach, consisting in internal traction, followed by delayed esophageal anastomosis in neonatal period should be considered an alternative first-line strategy for the repair of LGEA without the use of a gastrostomy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contemporary outcomes of the Foker process and evolution of treatment algorithms for long-gap esophageal atresia.

TL;DR: In this article, the Foker process has been used for long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) for more than ten years, with improved outcomes and less morbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of Magnets as a Minimally Invasive Approach for Anastomosis in Esophageal Atresia: Long-Term Outcomes

TL;DR: The use of magnets for treatment of long-gap EA is safe and feasible and accomplished good long-term outcomes, although the main complication was esophageal stricture, although all patients maintained their native esophagus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnamosis for esophageal atresia is associated with anastomotic strictures requiring an increased number of dilatations.

TL;DR: The results indicate that magnamosis is associated with more postintervention dilatations than conventional anastomotic techniques, suggesting thatMagnamosis results in more frequent and/or more resilient anastOMotic strictures.

Development of a True Primary Repair for the Full Spectrum of Esophageal Atresia

TL;DR: The esophageal anastomosis can withstand considerable tension and allows a reliable true primary repair for the full EA spectrum, and follow-up reveals the benefits oftrue primary repair over other solutions.

Esophageal atresia: five year experience with 148 cases

TL;DR: One hundred forty-eight infants with abnormalities of the esophagus treated over a 5-year period were reviewed and Congenital cardiac anomalies were the single most common cause of mortality and correction of these anomalies should be pursued aggressively.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current knowledge on esophageal atresia

TL;DR: A literature review of the current knowledge regarding EA is provided and the determination of the risk factors for the complicated evolution following EA/TEF repair may positively impact long-term prognoses.
