Anatomic Thoracoscopic Repair of Esophageal Atresia
BACKGROUND The thoracoscopic approach to repair esophageal atresia (EA) with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) provides excellent view, allowing the most skillful surgeons to spare the azygos vein by performing the esophageal anastomosis over (on the right side) the azygos vein. Seeking the most anatomic repair, we started to perform the esophageal anastomosis underneath (on the left side) the az...
متن کاملThoracoscopic Esophageal Atresia with Tracheoesophageal Fistula Repair: The First Iranian Group Report, Passing the Learning Curve
BACKGROUND Thoracoscopic treatment of esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula (EA+TEF) is accepted as a superior technique at least in cosmetic point of view but it is considered as an advance endoscopic procedure that needs a learning curve to be performed perfectly.

متن کاملThoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia and tracheo-esophageal fistula.
Advancements in minimally invasive surgical techniques and instruments for neonates have allowed even the most complex neonatal procedures to be approached endoscopically. In 1998 the first successful thoracoscopic repair of an esophageal atresia was performed in a 2-month-old infant. One year later the first totally thoracoscopic repair of an atresia with distal fistula was realized. Over the ...
متن کاملFeasibility of thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia with distal fistula.
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Evaluation of the feasibility of thoracoscopic correction of esophageal atresia with distal fistula. METHODS Eight consecutive neonates with esophageal atresia and distal fistula were treated thoracoscopically. Mean birth weight was 3,048 g (range, 2,140 to 3,770). The patients were intubated endotracheally and placed in a 3/4 left prone position. Three cannulae were insert...
متن کاملThoracoscopic Repair of Recurrent Tracheo-Esophageal Fistula (TEF) Following Failed Primary Open Repair for Congenital Esophageal Atresia with TEF
A 4-month-old female infant was admitted to the outpatient clinic and presented with vomiting and poor feeding for weeks. She was born at 35 weeks of gestation with a birth weight of 1900 g to a secundigravida. Neither antenatal anomaly nor perinatal insult was noted. She underwent open repair for EA with TEF in a local hospital when she was 2 days old. After the operation, she tolerated oral f...
