Abstract
Two cases of hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) developed after a few weeks of repair of an esophageal atresia and tracheo-esophageal fistula (EA&TEF). Both cases were dealt successfully with laparoscopic pyloromyotomy.
Highlights
hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS) following esophageal atresia repair is rarely reported
In a review of all HPS in the state of New York during 7 years, out of all the children with HPS 7% had a major malformation compared with 3.7% of the general population
HPS complicating the postoperative period of EA and TEF repair is rarely reported in literature [2,4,5,6,7]
Summary
HPS following esophageal atresia repair is rarely reported. Regurgitation and vomiting in operated cases of EA and TEF is attributed mainly to gastroesophageal reflux (GER) or anastomotic stricture [1,2,3]. Diagnosis and treatment is mandatory for good prognosis which may be a dilemma. We present two cases of HPS following an EA and TEF repair successfully treated laparoscopically
