BackgroundA communicating bronchopulmonary foregut malformation (CBPFM) group IB is very rare congenital malformation. Group IB is associated with tracheoesophageal fistula and esophageal atresia (TEF-EA) and a portion of one lung arisen from the esophagus (Gerle et al. in N Engl J Med. 278:1413–1419, 1968). The coexistence of TEF-EA and dextrocard...

To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic stricture index (SIEN) to define anastomotic strictures (ASs) and to predict the need of dilatations. A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted on patients who underwent esophageal atresia repair from 1998-2020 (ethical committee approval CHPED-05-20-AS). SIEN was calculated on the first...

Esophageal atresia with/without tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) is a congenital digestive tract anomaly that represents a major therapeutic challenge. Postoperative digestive morbidities such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophageal stricture are common. The aim of this study was to identify the incidence of and potential risk fa...

Children born with esophageal atresia (EA) might suffer from significant oral feeding problems which could evolve into tube dependency. The primary aim of the study was to define the outcome of tube weaning in children after successful EA repair and to compare outcomes in children with short gap/TEF (tracheoesophageal fistula) and long-gap EA. Data...

BackgroundPostoperative recurrence of tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a frequent complication in the repair of esophageal atresia (EA). Based on the recent etiologic classification, a TEF that develops in a different new pathway from the original one is categorized as an acquired TEF. The TEFs that fall into this category have been reported to b...

BACKGROUND Esophageal atresia (EA) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a frequent and lifelong problem in these patients. GERD can be asymptomatic and the incidence of esophageal gastric and intestinal metaplasia (Barrett’s esophagus) is increased in adults with EA compared ...

Esophageal atresia with or without a tracheo-esophageal fistula is a challenging anomaly in neonates. Thoracoscopic repair is gaining popularity now in pediatric surgery community. The present study aims at comparing the short term outcomes of thoracoscopy versus classic thoracotomy for repair of such conditions. Thirty neonates with tracheoesophag...

Thoracoscopic repair (TR) of esophageal atresia (EA) has been performed with increasing frequency over the last two decades, with the expectation of improved outcomes by avoiding thoracotomy. To understand the current practice and outcomes of TR of EA, we reviewed the relevant literature, including 15 case series, 7 comparative studies, and 3 meta-...
