Silicone stent versus fully covered metallic stent in tracheoesophageal fistula: a single-center retrospective study.
BMC Pulm Med
December 2024
Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Jining NO.1 People's Hospital, Jining, Shandong, PR China.
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.
J Indian Assoc Pediatr Surg

Department of Pediatric Surgery, IMS-BHU, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India.
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.

Department of Pediatric Surgery, Research Field in Medical and Health Sciences, Medical and Dental Area, Research and Education Assembly, Kagoshima University, Kagoshima, Japan.
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.

Arkansas Center for Birth Defects Research and Prevention, Little Rock, Arkansas, USA.
Background: There are limited studies on educational outcomes of children born with esophageal atresia (EA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). We aimed to compare 3rd to 5th grade academic proficiency among children born with EA/TEF versus unaffected children.
Methods: Children born with EA/TEF (2000-2005) were identified from the Arkansas Reproductive Health Monitoring System.
The intraoperative localization in recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula after esophageal atresia repair: a comparative study.

Article Synopsis
- Recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula (rTEF) is a rare but complex condition that can develop after initial esophageal atresia repair, with surgical challenges stemming from tissue adhesions and previous surgeries.
- The study introduced two new localization methods for identifying rTEF during surgery and evaluated their effectiveness compared to traditional approaches.
- Results showed that using localization techniques significantly reduced both operation time and postoperative recovery duration, leading to improved surgical outcomes for patients with rTEF.
