“…Surgical technique was the same as described in the Kinottenbelt et al study [15] and was performed by the same surgeon in all cases. All patients were under close supervision in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for about 48 h and were followed for about 1 week in hospital after surgery.…”

Surgery has dramatically improved survival of infants with esophageal atresia. However, early and late complications of these surgeries affect the future life of this population. A probable step toward minimizing such complications is through modifying the technique of surgery. We evaluated two groups of esophageal atresia undergoing surgery with two different techniques including preservation and ligation of the Azygos vein and compared early complications, duration of surgery, and hospital and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay between them. A total number of 24 patients with mean age of 24 to 48 h, who were diagnosed with esophageal atresia, were included in the study. All cases were randomly allocated in two groups: group A (case group) in which patients underwent surgery with preservation of the Azygos vein and group B (control group) in which patients underwent the former surgical method with ligation of the Azygos vein. Incidence of early complications, duration of surgery, and NICU and hospital stay were compared between the two groups. None of the complications occurred in either group. Duration of surgery, NICU stay, and hospital stay were not statistically significant between the groups. Preserving the Azygos vein during esophageal atresia surgery is probably a good modification of the classic technique.

“…5(31) patients had congenital anomalies like anorectal malformations, VACTERL and PDA [8]. Thus TEF needs emergency surgical correction in neonatal period and anesthesiologist faces cardiorespiratory challenges in the perioperative period due to altered pathophysiology and other comorbidities [9].…”

“…H-type fistula, which is commonly diagnosed at a later time, presents with cough while feeding, recurrent pneumonia, cyanosis, and intermittent abdominal distension. 15,16 Diagnosis is confirmed with a chest and neck X-ray (anterior and lateral view), by passing a radiopaque catheter or a catheter with water-soluble contrast media to guide its position. Chest and abdominal X-rays show the presence of intestinal air in the case of type III atresia or its absence in the case of type I.…”

Eosinophilic esophagitis and esophageal atresia: coincidence or causality?

Eosinophilic esophagitis is an immune-mediated chronic disease of the esophagus characterized by symptoms related to esophageal dysfunction and tissue eosinophilia. In the endoscopy, the esophageal mucosa may appear normal or show exudates, rings, edema, furrows, and strictures. Its management is based on elimination diet, topical corticosteroids and/or esophageal dilation. Atresia is the most common congenital alteration of the esophagus; it requires surgical repair and poses potential complications, such as gastroesophageal reflux, strictures, and esophageal dysmotility. Up to 2015, 48 cases of eosinophilic esophagitis and esophageal atresia were reported, with dysmotility, reflux, and long-term acid suppression involvement. Prevalent clinical signs include dysphagia, difficulty eating, and reflux symptoms, so an esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy is recommended to rule out associated eosinophilic esophagitis in patients with esophageal atresia and persistent symptoms before performing an esophageal dilation and/or anti-reflux surgery. If eosinophilic esophagitis is confirmed, it should be managed with the corresponding drugs, and the subsequent therapeutic approach will depend on its clinical course.
