We present a rare clinical observation of an 11-year-old boy who, as result fall from height, received severe combined injury the chest, abdomen, retroperitoneal space, which was accompanied by contusion lungs with hydrothorax, right kidney, pancreas and duodenal rupture development traumatic shock III degree, bile peritonitis. It required emergency surgery, intensive care patient’s chronic ref...

background: subglottic stenosis is defined as inflammatory narrowing of the airway. it can be related to trauma, intubation, autoimmune disorders, vascular malformations, infection and congenital abnormalities. pot-wine stain (pws) is a small dermis venous malformation which is present at birth. pws is found on face and neck, but can occur in throat and can cause subglottic stenosis. case repor...

Esophagojejunal anastomosis fistula is the main complication after a total gastrectomy. To avoid a complex procedure on friable inflamed perianastomotic tissues, a coated self-expandable stent is mounted at the site of the anastomotic leak. A complication of stenting procedure is that it might lead to distal esophageal stenosis. However, another frequently encountered complication of stenting i...

Because most surgeons perform an esophagectomy and colonic transposition as the main reconstruction method for patients with esophageal stenosis caused by swallowing corrosive materials, we report 2 cases in which ileocolonic transposition was used to treat such patients. Both patients displayed stenosis in the middle third of the esophagus. Their chief complaint was dysphagia. Ileocolonic tran...

Esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) associated with distal congenital esophageal stenosis (CES) is a well-known entity. We encountered three patients of EA/TEF associated with long and unusual CES.

Two cases of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) developed after a few weeks of repair of an esophageal atresia and tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA and TEF). Both cases were dealt successfully with laparoscopic pyloromyotomy.

● Epidemiology ● Esophageal atresia occurs in about 2.4 of every 10,000 live births, with a slight preponderance in males and children of older or diabetic mothers. Esophageal duplication cysts account for 10 to 15 percent of all foregut duplication cysts and only 5 to 10 percent of all mediastinal cysts. Congenital esophageal stenosis occurs in between 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 live births. Bochda...

BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant chemoradiation might increase anastomotic leakage and stenosis in patients with esophageal cancer treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiation and esophagectomy. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of radiation dose on the incidence of leakage and stenosis. METHODS Fifty-three patients with esophageal cancer received neoadjuvant chemoradiation (23 × 1.8 Gy) ...

A wide spectrum of variations can occur in esophageal atresia because of the complexity of tracheoesophageal development. We herein described a 0-day-old boy with type IIIb6 esophageal atresia. Esophagography revealed a long overlapping upper pouch that was similar to esophageal stenosis. Gastrostomy is useful for the therapeutic diagnosis of such a case.
