Importance of an International Registry and Collaborative Research on Esophageal Atresia

04 August 2018

Esophageal atresia (EA) is a rare congenital defect. Data on EA prevalence, management, and long-term outcome are lacking because the available data come from small retrospective series from tertiary referral centers. An international multicenter registry would provide strong epidemiological data […] LEARN MORE

Long-term functional outcomes after replacement of the esophagus in pediatric patients: A systematic literature review.

27 June 2018

BACKGROUND: The indications of esophageal replacement (ER) in pediatric patients include long gap esophageal atresia (LGEA), intractable post-corrosive esophageal strictures (PCES), and some rare esophageal diseases. Various conduits and procedures are currently used worldwide with a lack of consensus regarding […] LEARN MORE

Four cancer cases after esophageal atresia repair: Time to start screening the upper gastrointestinal tract.

25 April 2018

Abstract Esophageal atresia (EA) is one of the most common congenital digestive malformations and requires surgical correction early in life. Dedicated centers have reported survival rates up to 95%. The most frequent comorbidities after EA repair are dysphagia (72%) and […] LEARN MORE

Update on Oesophageal Atresia-Tracheoesophageal Fistula

Ebook Frontiers Update on EA-TEF In 2010, the First International Workshop on Esophageal Atresia was held in Lille, France. The success of that event established a new model of conference based not on medical subspecialty but specifically on disease, bringing […] LEARN MORE

Radiation Exposure and Attributable Cancer Risk in Patients with Esophageal Atresia.

01 November 2017

Abstract OBJECTIVES: Cases of esophageal carcinoma have been documented in survivors of esophageal atresia (EA). Children with EA undergo considerable amounts of diagnostic imaging and consequent radiation exposure potentially increasing their lifetime cancer mortality risk. This study evaluates the radiological […] LEARN MORE
