Esophageal replacement by total gastric transposition was performed on 34 infants (32 with esophageal atresia) in the 5.5-year period from January 1981 to June 1986. There were three deaths (9%), two occurring in the early postoperative period, with the third occurring 1 year after surgery from persistent chronic respiratory problems. Fourteen infants had a totally uncomplicated course and have not required further admissions. Thirteen infants had early postoperative problems including six with delayed gastric emptying, four with anastomotic strictures requiring dilatation, and two with radiologic anastomotic leaks. Four late complications consisted of two adhesion intestinal obstructions, a perforation related to a jejunal feeding tube, and a child in whom malabsorption subsequently developed. An excellent result has been obtained in 24 infants, four doing well with only minor problems with feeding, and two are fair experiencing persisting difficulties. These results compare favorably with a large previous experience in colon interposition.

Introduction: esophageal replacement in children is indicated when it is impossible to maintain the native esophagus, which in the pediatric population includes patients with esophageal atresia and esophageal caustic stenosis. The objective of this communication is to report the experience of a university service with two techniques of esophageal replacement.
Methods: this is a retrospective study based on the revision of hospital files.

: Functional gastric stenosis, a consequence of sleeve gastrectomy, is defined as a rotation of the gastric tube along its longitudinal axis. It is brought on by gastric twisting without the anatomical constriction of the gastric lumen. During endoscopic examination, the staple line is deviated with a clockwise rotation, and the stenosis requires additional endoscopic manipulations for its transposition.

Objective: For over a century, circumferential pharyngoesophageal junction reconstruction posed significant surgical challenges. This review aims to provide a narrative history of pharyngoesophageal junction reconstruction from early surgical innovations to the advent of modern free-flap procedures.
Methods: The review encompasses three segments: (1) local and/or locoregional flaps, (2) visceral transposition flaps, and (3) free-tissue transfer, focusing on the interplay between pharyngoesophageal junction reconstruction and prevalent surgical trends.
Long-gap esophageal atresia: gastric transposition or esophageal lengthening with delayed primary anastomosis? A systematic review.

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate different surgical approaches to long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is unclear.
Methods: A systematic literature review was done comparing gastric transposition versus esophageal lengthening with delayed primary anastomosis in infants with LGEA+/-TEF. The primary outcome was time to full oral feeds.

BACKGROUND Duplication of the gastrointestinal tract is a rare congenital malformation that can develop in any part of the digestive tract. These duplications may be asymptomatic into adult age. Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by a mirror transposition of thoracic and abdominal organs.
