Abstract: | Surgery in children with caustic esophageal burns, esophageal atresia or other esophageal disorders can be performed using gastric tube esophagoplasty. Between 1991 and 1999, a number of 41 such procedures have been performed in our department, using the original technique developed by Gavriliu. The results were assessed as good and very good in 83% of the cases, and fair or bad in the rest of 17%. We recorded 13 cases with significant complications, 4 of which ended with exitus. The paper present our experience in using gastric tube esophagoplasty and the management of the complications related to this procedure. |
