Abstract
Purpose of the study: to estimate the efficacy of treatment and remote results of delayed esophago-esophageal anastomosis in children with EA. Material and methods. We analyzed 18 case histories of children with delayed esophago-esophageal anastomosis performed at N. F. Filatov Children’s Municipal Clinical Hospital No. 13 from 2006 to 2016. Results. Postoperative complications occurred in 16 children out of 18 (88.9%). Esophageal anastomotic leakage was developed in 4 patients (22.2%), anastomotic stenosis in 11 patients (61.1%) and gastroesophageal reflux in 14 children (77.8%). Lethality amounted to 16.7% (3 children) in the early postoperative period. As per the analysis of delayed results, dysphagia was noted in 92.3% of children. After delayed anastomosis 9 children underwent recurrent surgery, 4 of them had subsequent esophageal extirpation. Conclusions. Considering the high rate of complications (88.9%) and bad delayed results, our observations do not allow us to recommend the delayed esophago-esophageal anastomosis as the surgery of choice for children with EA.
