Disease relevance of Esophagoplasty

PURPOSE: This is a report of 4 patients with long gap/pure esophageal atresia, who, after an initial gastrostomy and cervical esophagostomy at birth, were treated with a new technique called fundal tube esophagoplasty [1].

High impact information on Esophagoplasty

Plasma levels of glucagon-like polypeptides in patients with esophagoplasty [2].
If not, we use a colonic esophagoplasty with an esogastric disconnection to control the gastroesophageal reflux which is responsible for strictures and respiratory impairment and does not obstruct the aperistaltic tube [3].
Fundal tube esophagoplasty for esophageal reconstruction in atresia [1].
