Objective To summarize the experience with intraluminal esophageal stretching elongation
(ILESE) in the successful treatment of long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) at a single …

The ideal approach to long gap esophageal atresia is still controversial. On one hand,
preserving a patient's native esophagus may require several steps and can be fraught with …

Neonatal surgery is recognized as an independent discipline in general surgery, requiring
the expertise of pediatric surgeons to optimize outcomes in infants with surgical conditions …

We analyzed retrospectively the outcomes in long gap Gross type C esophageal atresia. We
hypothesized that outcomes in type C (long gap) atresia differ from type C (normal gap) and …

Purpose Long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) is still a challenge for pediatric surgery. No
consensus exists as to what constitutes a long gap, and few studies have investigated the …

Background: The outcome of newborns with esophageal atresia (EA) and
tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) has improved considerably. At present, the overall survival …

Background: Thoracoscopic correction of esophageal atresia (EA) with tracheoesophageal
fistula (TEF) has been increasingly widespread, but is still one of the most advanced …

Congenital tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is part of the esophageal atresia complex and
can be associated with multiple congenital anomalies. With advancements in …

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

Long-gap esophageal atresia is one of the most challenging diseases in the field of pediatric
surgery. There is no optimal therapy, and thus many potential therapies and techniques are …
