Oesophageal webs are thin (2-3mm) membranes of normal oesophageal tissue consisting of mucosa and submucosa. They can be congenital or acquired. Congenital oesophageal webs are very rare and usually present in adulthood. This report describes an unusual presentation of congenital web in lower oesophagus in a premature neonate with respiratory distress who was posted for diagnostic bronchoscopy and oesophagoscopy under general anaesthesia to rule out tracheo-oesophageal fistula or tracheomalacia. Endoscopic dilatation of the web was done and the baby improved after the procedure.

December 2024
Department of Education and Research Center for Pharmacy Practice, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Doshisha Women's College of Liberal Arts, Kyotanabe, Japan.
Background/aim: Despite the seriousness of lung adverse events (AEs) associated with lenvatinib, comprehensive data on these events remain limited. This study was conducted to examine the disproportionality, time to onset, incidence rates, and outcomes of lenvatinib-associated lung AEs using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database.
Patients And Methods: We analysed data for the period from April 2004 to May 2023.

Esophageal stricture is the most common and disabling complication of esophageal injury caused by ingestion of corrosive substances. In our case, the patient developed esophageal stenosis due to ingestion of strong alkaline substances and underwent colon replacement surgery after repeated failed dilation treatments. After surgery, anastomotic stenosis and tracheocolonic fistula occurred successively, and the entire diagnosis and treatment cycle of this disease lasted for more than 20 years.

Background: In cases of tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF), closure of the fistula by tracheal stent implantation is an effective treatment. In this study, we investigated the efficacy and complications of silicone and metallic tracheal stents for TEF.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent tracheal stent insertion for TEF between January 2021 and April 2024 at our institution.
Evaluating the Impact of Elective Endotracheal Tube Replacement on Postoperative Outcomes in Esophageal Atresia: A STROBE-guided Study.

Background: Elective ventilation and paralysis have been shown to decrease the anastomosis-related complications following primary repair of esophageal atresia (EA). Repeated endotracheal tube (ETT) block and replacement can increase these complications. We evaluated the results of our strategy of electively changing the ETT just before shifting the patient to the postoperative ward for elective ventilation.

We herein report a neonatal case showing specific findings of blood perfusion in the anastomosed esophagus of esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence during thoracoscopic surgery. The patient was a 3054 g, 0-day neonatal boy diagnosed with EA-TEF based on a coil-up sign of the nasogastric tube. Thoracoscopic surgery was performed on Day 4 after birth.
