Historically, children afflicted with long gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) had few options,
either esophageal replacement or a life of gastrostomy feeds. In 1997, John Foker from …

Background Esophageal growth using the Foker process (FP) for long-gap esophageal
atresia (LGEA) has evolved over time. Methods Contemporary LGEA patients treated from …

Background The jejunal interposition is our preferred esophageal replacement route when
the native esophagus cannot be reconstructed. We report the evolution of our approach and …

Introduction Jejunal interposition (JI) is an option for oesophageal replacement in children;
ensuring good graft perfusion is essential. We report three cases where Indocyanine Green …

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 …

Background In free jejunum transfer, knowing the ischemic tolerance time of the jejunum is
crucial. It helps determine the need for reharvesting if an unexpected situation prolongs the …

Background Unintentional swallowing of corrosive agents cause problems in the pediatric
population. Swallowing dysfunction can be seen after injuring the pharynx and/or epiglottis …

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 …

The current study reports the surgical technique and the clinical long term results of pediatric
esophageal substitution with a pedicled jejunal loop in two patients with long gap …

Management of long-gap esophageal atresia is a difficult reconstructive challenge. We have
previously described our institutional experience with supercharged pedicled jejunal …
