Continental Preferences in Reconstruction of Pharyngolaryngectomy Defects: A Multi-National Survey.
Head Neck
January 2025
University of New South Wales, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Objectives: Reconstruction of total pharyngolaryngectomy defects may restore pharyngeal function and enable tracheoesophageal speech after resection of locoregionally advanced malignancy. Little remains known about variations in the practices and preferences of surgeons across differing global regions.
Methods: A survey was sent to reconstructive head and neck surgeons across three continents with responses analyzed to evaluate trends.
Staged thoracoscopic internal traction approach for early repair of long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) with distal tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF).
Pediatr Surg Int
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital, 8950 Euclid Avenue, Mail Code R3, Cleveland, OH, 44106, USA.
Background: Long-gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) can complicate the management of esophageal atresia (EA) with or without a tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). This series describes a short interval, staged, thoracoscopic internal traction approach for LGEA with distal TEF to manage complex anastomotic tension or an anatomically impossible esophageal anastomosis.
Methods: A retrospective review (2018-2024) was performed across four tertiary centers to identify patients with LGEA and distal TEF, managed with a staged, thoracoscopic internal traction approach.
Experience in the treatment of type C congenital esophageal atresia using a staged approach.
BMC Surg
January 2025
Department of Neonatal Surgery, National Center for Children's Health, Beijing Children Hospital, Capital Medical University, 56 Nanlishi Road, Beijing, 100045, China.
Background: In select patients with type C esophageal atresia, primary anastomosis is not appropriate and a staged approach is required. We aim to summarize our experience in the management of type C EA using a staged approach.
Methods: A retrospective chart-review of patients with type C EA admitted to Beijing Children's Hospital between July 2020 to October 2023 were conducted.
Endobronchial Suture of Tracheoesophageal Fistula Through Rigid Bronchoscopy Without Tracheostomy: A Preliminary, Observational Retrospective Study.
J Clin Med
December 2024
Department of Translational Medical Sciences, University of Campania L. Vanvitelli, 80131 Naples, Italy.
A tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) represents a condition characterized by abnormal communication between the gastrointestinal tract and the airways. Although the current gold-standard treatment is surgery, pre-existing clinical conditions may represent contraindications. We therefore propose a bronchoscopic approach through rigid bronchoscopy without tracheostomy for total repair in patients suffering from benign tracheoesophageal fistulas.

Rady Children's Hospital San Diego, 3020 Children's Way, San Diego, CA 92123, USA; University of California San Diego School of Medicine, Department of Surgery, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, CA 92093, USA. Electronic address:
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.
