description

Treatment of congenital long gap esophageal atresia is extremely challenging. Cases are rare, variable, and oftentimes complex. Possible treatment options include delayed primary repair after initial gastrostomy, gastric transposition, intestinal interpositions, traction procedures, myotomy, and gastric tube techniques. Treatment strategies often consist of variations and combinations of different approaches.
