Laparoscopic-assisted transhiatal gastric transposition for long gap esophageal atresia in an infant

Single‐incision laparoscopy‐assisted gastric transposition combined with thoracoscopic esophagectomy for esophageal replacement

“…Experience with laparoscopy‐assisted GT (LA‐GT) in children is limited compared to adults. Table shows the reports of minimally invasive GT to date . LA‐GT was first performed by Ure et al .…”

A Pilot Study of Laparoscopic Gastric Pull-Up by Using the Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery Technique: A Novel Procedure for Treating Long-Gap Esophageal Atresia (Type A)

“…To our knowledge, this is the first study to apply NOTES for esophageal atresia. Thoracoscopic repair 6 and laparoscopic gastric pull-up [1][2][3][4]8 have been described as minimally invasive surgery for esophageal atresia. However, thoracic incisions, even when small, are painful and primary repair of long-gap cases is difficult by the thoracoscopic approach alone.…”

Oesophageal replacement with stomach: A personal series and review of published experience

“…We excluded studies where the outcomes of gastric transpositions could not be separated from other techniques, [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] or where children were reported with adults, 18,19 or where authors gave uninterpretable descriptions, 20,21 leaving 57 studies. Of these, 15 were reports of single cases, [22][23][24][25][26][27][28] usually reporting serious complications. [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] Authors from Great Ormond Street Hospital, 1,8,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] The University of Sao Paulo [45][46][47][48] and the All India Institute of Medical Science [49][50][51][52][53] repeatedly reported their experiences.…”
