AI Article Synopsis
- Esophageal atresia (OA), occurring in about 1 in 4,000 births, often presents with excess amniotic fluid, known as polyhydramnios.
- This text discusses a unique approach combining cervical cerclage (a stitch to support the cervix) with serial amnioreduction (removing excess amniotic fluid) to help extend the pregnancy duration for infants with OA.
- By prolonging gestational age, this method aims to enhance the surgical outcomes for reconstructing the esophagus in affected neonates.
Article Abstract
Esophageal atresia (OA) with or without tracheoesophageal fistula affects approximately 1 in 4000 births and commonly presents with polyhydramnios. This appears to be the first report regarding the utility of cervical cerclage with serial amnioreduction to prolong the gestational age of a neonate with OA, thereby improving outcomes for reconstructive surgery.
