BACKGROUND
Congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) has been reported to be a rare association in patients with esophageal atresia or tracheoesophageal fistula, or both (EA-TEF). This study investigates the clinical characteristics of this association with special reference to its treatment.
METHODS
A
End-to-side anastomosis (ES) and ligation of the tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) has been the procedure of choice for esophageal atresia at our institution since 1967. This report summarizes our operative and long-term results with the ES operation in 68 babies, including 33 in Waterston group A
Recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula (rTEF) is a complex complication after the repair of esophageal atresia (EA) and remains a challenge because of difficulties in preoperative management and the substantial rates of mortality and morbidity after reoperation. By reviewing a single institution's
Development of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) after a few weeks of repair of an oesophageal atresia (OA) and tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF) is a rare condition in early infancy. Although vomiting or feeding intolerance in operated cases of OA+TOF are attributed to oesophageal stricture,
A 23-day-old girl presented with abdominal distension and vomiting. She had been previously operated on for esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) when she was 2 days old. An immediate laparotomy revealed an appendiceal mass caused by perforated appendicitis. The occurrence of
A rare case of esophageal atresia/tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA-TEF) with an associated tracheobronchial remnant (TBR) is reported and discussed herein. A 13-month-old patient was seen with a complaint of vomiting of solid food 1 year after EA-TEF repair. An esophagogram showed a tapered narrowing
Feeding difficulties such as dysphagia, coughing, choking, or vomiting during meals, slow eating, oral aversion, food refusal, and stressful mealtimes are common in children with repaired esophageal atresia (EA) and the reasons for this are often multifactorial. The aim of this review is to describe
During the 5-year period from 1981 to 1985, Nissen fundoplication was performed on 13 esophageal atresia patients. One patient with Down's syndrome died because of cardiac malformation 2 weeks after the operation and is excluded from the analysis. Nine of the remaining 12 patients had the usual
We treated 3 children with wide-gap esophageal atresia by a circular myotomy of Livaditis technique, after which no postoperative complaints, such as heartburn, vomiting or dysphagia, were seen. Esophageal manometry, performed to evaluate the postoperative esophageal motor function revealed; (1)
Patients with esophageal atresia (EA) or choanal atresia (CA) manifest similar clinical and pathophysiological features. To determine the significance of this observation, the clinical records of 80 patients with EA and 57 with CA were reviewed. This survey showed that similarities between the two
A six-year-old boy with oesophageal strictures secondary to neonatal repair of oesophageal atresia and requiring six to eight weekly oesophageal dilatations by bouginage developed anticipatory nausea and vomiting. This was effectively managed by a course of preoperative hypnotherapy over four
Background: Children with esophageal atresia (EA) have risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), suggesting reflux monitoring for prompt management.
Aim: To evaluate GERD
BACKGROUND
Esophageal Atresia (EA) is defined as the congenital interruption of the continuity of the esophagus. Pediatric patients also have other congenital conditions, such as Tracheo-Esophageal Fistula (TEF).
METHODS
A 7-year-old male with TEF referred by a Pediatric Cardiologist, with the
We studied gastroesophageal reflux (GER) in 25 children between 3 and 83 mo post-repair of esophageal atresia and distal tracheoesophageal fistula (EATEF). The incidence of GER was determined by 18-24 hr pH monitoring of the distal esophagus and gastroesophageal scintiscan following the ingestion of
OBJECTIVE
Congenital esophageal atresia (CES) is a rare congenital disease. The severity of symptoms is variable; thus, diagnosis is difficult and tends to be delayed. CES is frequently accompanied by esophageal atresia (EA) with/without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). We investigated the
