An esophageal injury with significant tissue loss is very difficult to repair. We conducted an in
vivo study to test our elastin based acellular biomaterial patch to repair such defect. The …

Esophageal replacement is required in several pediatric surgical conditions, like long-gap
esophageal atresia. Although several techniques have been described to bridge the gap, all …

Objectives Using tissue-engineered materials for esophageal reconstruction is a technically
challenging task in animals that requires bioreactor training to enhance cellular reactivity …

Purpose: An esophageal injury with significant tissue loss is very difficult to repair primarily,
and has high morbidity and mortality with stricture and leak. We conducted in vivo study to …

Esophageal diseases may require resectioning of the damaged portion. The current
standard of care requires the replacement of the esophagus with the stomach or the …

The esophagus is a tubular organ with a multi-laminated tissue structure that functions to
transport nutrition from the oral cavity to the stomach. Several diseases of the esophagus …

PURPOSE: Esophagus replacement using the present surgical techniques is associated
with significant morbidity. Tissue engineering of the esophagus may provide the solution for …

BACKGROUND: Tissue engineering is a rapidly emerging field that combines the
established disciplines of engineering, biology, and medicine with the goal of fabricating …

Background: With the recent development of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD),
large oesophageal cancers can be removed with a single procedure, with few limits on the …

Introduction: Esophageal atresia refers to an anomaly in foetal development in which the
esophagus terminates in a blind end. Whilst surgical correction is achievable in most …
