Background: Tracheoesophageal shunt insufficiency (TESI) is a common and potentially life-threatening complication after laryn(-gopharyn)gectomy (L(P)E). We investigated whether TESI could be the result of a specific shunt location.
Methods: A monocentric, retrospective cohort analysis of 171 consecutively treated L(P)E patients was performed.

Introduction: Congenital tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a rare and life-threatening anomaly that requires prompt surgical intervention. The case report highlights a successful TEF repair in setting with significant observed cases and low survival rate.
Case Presentation: We present a Type C Tracheoesophageal fistula successfully repaired by a conventional Open Surgical approach.

Background: Although neuraxial techniques such as caudal and epidural anesthesia were initially the predominant regional anesthetic technique used to provide postoperative analgesia in children, there has been a transition to the use of peripheral nerve blockade such as the quadratus lumborum block (QLB). We present preliminary experience with QL catheters for continuous postoperative analgesia in a cohort of pediatric patients following colorectal surgery.
Methods: After institutional review board (IRB) approval, we retrospectively reviewed the records of patients who underwent major colorectal surgery and received QL catheters for postoperative analgesia.

Esophageal atresia (EA) associated with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is a common congenital airway anomaly and may be associated with other gastrointestinal abnormalities. Neonates with EA/TEF are at high risk of gastrointestinal distension due to the shunting of air via the fistula, leading to progressive diaphragmatic elevation and regurgitation of the gastrointestinal contents. EA/TEF associated with anal atresia in a neonate makes airway management even more challenging particularly when managed for the repair of TEF through thoracotomy.
