Objective: Magnetic anastomosis is an innovative technique for establishing esophageal continuity in infants born with esophageal atresia. Few case series featuring this technology have been published, with even fewer reports on complications. We present the entire Canadian experience with this approach.

Introduction: The project, funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche, aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with oesophageal atresia (OA) between 13 and 14 years old and establish multiomics profiles using data from the world's biggest OA registry.
Methods And Analysis: is a national multicentre population-based cohort study recruiting participants from all qualified French centres for OA surgery at birth. The primary objective is to assess the prevalence of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease in adolescence among patients with OA, with several secondary objectives including the identification of risk factors and multiomic profiles from oesophageal biopsies and blood samples collected between 13 and 14 years old, compared with a control group.

Background: Thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia with tracheoesophageal fistula (EA/TEF) has been reported to have superior outcomes to the open approach. We sought to evaluate adoption of thoracoscopic repair at US children's hospitals and compare outcomes to open repair.
Methods: The Pediatric Health Information System database was used to identify patients with EA/TEF who underwent repair between 2016 and 2023.
Objective: While the association of a syrinx with a tethered spinal cord in the context of VACTERL (vertebral defects [V], imperforate anus or anal atresia [A], cardiac malformations [C], tracheoesophageal defects [T] with or without esophageal atresia [E], renal anomalies [R], and limb defects [L]) association is known, the incidence of idiopathic syrinxes among these patients has not previously been reported. The authors aimed to characterize the incidence of syrinxes and the pattern of congenital anomalies in pediatric patients with VACTERL association, with a specific focus on the presence of idiopathic syrinxes in this population.
Methods: An institutional database was retrospectively queried for all pediatric patients with VACTERL association.
