Evaluation of Risk Factors Affecting Anastomotic Leakage After Repair of Esophageal Atresia

Abstract: Background:Anastomotic leak are reported among neonates who underwent esophageal atresia. Aim: To find risk factors of anastomotic leakage in patients underwent esophageal repair. Methods: All cases with esophageal atresia were included. In this case control study, patients were classified in two groups according to presence or absence of anastomotic leaks. Duration of study was 10 years. Results: Sixty-one cases were included. Mean±SD age at time of surgery in patients with leakage and without leakage was … Show more

“…[ 6 , 7 , 27 ] Several factors are involved in the incidence of anastomotic leaks, including sepsis, poor suturing techniques, ischemia of the esophageal ends, friable lower segment, the type of suture, and excess anastomotic tension. [ 28 , 29 ] Therefore, there is no doubt that adequate preoperative assessments, superb surgical skills, and postoperative care may be helpful in reducing mortality in patients with EA.…”
