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
Gross E-type congenital esophageal atresia associated with congenital esophageal stenosis is extremely rare. In a male infant born at 36 weeks of gestation, bubbly vomiting was noted after birth. X-ray films of the chest and abdomen showed coil-up sign of the nasogastric tube and gas in the stomach
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
Although infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis following esophageal atresia repair is known, infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis following H-type tracheoesophageal fistula has not been encountered previously. A case of H-type tracheoesophageal fistula and infantile hypertrophic pyloric
OBJECTIVE
Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) construction, performed during or after total laryngectomy, is used for voice and speech restoration but has been associated with mild to severe complications. Our goal was to study the successes and complications in the application of this technique to
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
BACKGROUND
We assessed the quality of life (QOL) of postoperative esophageal atresia (EA) with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) cases, comparing open with thoracoscopic repair.
METHODS
A retrospective review of consecutive EA/TEF repairs (2001-2014) was performed, excluding cases with birth weight
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
Infants with esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula may have other associated anomalies. The development of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in the postoperative course of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula is rarely reported. Because its symptoms may mimick
A 17-year-old girl presented with episodic vomiting associated with chest pain, a 20-pound weight loss over the past year, and multiple hospitalizations for pneumonia. She was bradycardic, cachectic (<3rd percentile), pale, and had anterior cervical lymphadenopathy. CT angiography suggested an
We report a case of acute bronchopneumonia and esophagotracheal fistula caused by a swallowed button battery in a 3-year-old girl. It was unclear exactly how long the battery had been trapped in the esophagus. The patient had undergone a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy 3 weeks before the battery was
BACKGROUND
Ingestion of foreign bodies may result in the formation of a tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), which causes severe morbidity in children. We describe four cases of TEF, who underwent emergent surgery for repair.
METHODS
In this report, we present about four patients aged between 9 months
Development of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis during postoperative period in EA with TEF is rare. Postoperative vomiting or feeding intolerance in EA is more common which is due to esophageal stricture, gastroesophageal reflux and esophageal dysmotility. A typical case of IHPS also presents
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
