Abstract
Treatment options for long gap esophageal atresia generally require several stages over several months. We propose, for their management, a direct anastomosis at 4 months of age whenever it is possible. If not, we use a colonic esophagoplasty with an esogastric disconnection to control the gastroesophageal reflux which is responsible for strictures and respiratory impairment and does not obstruct the aperistaltic tube.
