“…Esophageal elongation procedures initially described by Kimura [1] and later by Foker [2], were implemented using thoracoscopy by Patkowski [3]. The proposal in pursuing this procedure at early stages was to avoid the placement of a feeding gastrostomy in these patients.…”

“…This can be accomplished without placement of a gastrostomy tube utilizing parenteral nutrition until esophageal continuity is established. 8 The esophagus is approached thoracoscopically, dissected to provide length, and internal traction sutures are placed between the two ends. A few days later, the patient is brought back to the operating room, the esophagus dissected again, and a repair completed if possible.…”
