A uniquely challenging subset of infants diagnosed with esophageal atresia (EA) are those
born with long-gap EA (LGEA). The common unifying feature in infants with LGEA is that the …

The management of long-gap esophageal atresia remains challenging with limited
consensus on the definition, evaluation, and surgical approach to treatment. Efforts to …

Long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) is a major surgical challenge in pediatric surgery. In
most cases, esophageal continuity can be restored using delayed and/or traction …

Background The surgical repair of long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) is still a challenge
and there is no consensus on the preferred method of reconstruction. We performed a …

Long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) is still a major surgical challenge. Options for
esophageal reconstruction include the use of native esophagus or esophageal replacement …

Background Long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) precludes immediate primary repair.
When delayed primary esophagoesophagostomy (DPE) is not feasible, a reverse gastric …

Surgical management of long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) remains challenging. Yet,
there is a consensus among pediatric surgeons to preserve native esophagus. We used a …

Background Less than 10% of infants born with esophageal atresia (EA) have a long gap
that precludes primary anastomosis at birth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the …

Purpose Management of newborns with long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) remains a
challenge for pediatric surgeons. Since spontaneous growth of the esophageal segments …

Introduction Treatment of long-gap esophageal atresia (LEA) is a major challenge. Options
