Background: Long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) can complicate the management of esophageal atresia (EA) with or without a tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). This series describes a short interval, staged, thoracoscopic internal traction approach for LGEA with distal TEF to manage complex anastomotic tension or an anatomically impossible esophageal anastomosis.

Methods: A retrospective review (2018-2024) was performed across four tertiary centers to identify patients with LGEA and distal TEF, managed with a staged, thoracoscopic internal traction approach.

Methods: Ninety patients were enrolled in this study from August 2015 to July 2021. The marionette technique was performed as follow.

Article Synopsis
  • - A woman with colon adenocarcinoma developed necrotizing pneumonia and empyema shortly after chemotherapy, leading to the placement of a chest tube for fluid analysis.
  • - She underwent pleural decortication via video-assisted thoracoscopy and received treatment with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and imipenem/cilastatin.
  • - After four weeks of treatment, she was discharged on oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole with no recurrence during follow-up; the importance of antibiotic susceptibility testing and monitoring side effects was emphasized.

We introduce a novel approach for reduced-port robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for thoracic neoplasms. Surgery is performed via single- or two-incision. Main incision( 4 cm) is placed on 8th intercostal space on mid-axillary line and second incision, if needed, is placed on 5th intercostal space on anterior axillary line.
