• W2954401885 abstract "Abstract Background and Aim Thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia is gaining popularity worldwide owing to the availability of and advances in minimally invasive instruments. This report presents our early experience of thoracoscopic esophageal atresia repair (EA/TEF) in a single institute. Methods A prospective study on short-gap type C EA/TEF was conducted at Cairo University Specialized Pediatric Hospital from April 2016. The technique was standardized in all cases: patients placed in the fully prone position, and using a 5 mm 30° scope with 3 mm instruments and carried out by four experts in minimally invasive surgery. Data was collected to include patient demographics and operative time. The main outcome was survival. Secondary outcomes were leak rate and postoperative stricture. Results Over a period of 24 months (April 2016–April 2018) 136 cases of EA/TEF were admitted. Thoracoscopy was attempted in 76 cases. Thirty cases with pure atresia or long-gap anomaly were excluded from this study for gap length, leaving 46 (60%) nonconsecutive neonates who underwent thoracoscopic repair of their short-gap EA/TEF. Five cases (10.8%) were converted to open surgery via right thoracotomy. A primary anastomosis was possible in all cases, leaving the azygos intact. The mean age at operation was 8.7 days (range 2–32), the mean weight was 2.6 kg (range 1.8–3.6), and the mean operative time was 108.3 minutes (range 80–180). In the fully thoracoscopic patients the survival was 85.4% (n = 35). An anastomotic leak occurred in 17% (n = 7); it was managed conservatively in 2 and with esophagostomy and gastrostomy in 5 cases. Followup was at one week, one and three months postdischarge. A stricture developed in 5 (16.6%) of the 30 surviving patients who kept their native esophagus. Conclusions Thoracoscopic repair is a feasible alternative even in a low-resource setting. The better outcome compared to traditional open repair in our center may be due to patient selection bias." @default.
