Comparative Characteristic of the Results of Surgical Treatment of Esophagal Atreesiain Newborns

Abstract

We analyzed the results of surgical treatment of 232 neonates with esophageal ataresia (AP) in the Republican Perinatal Center (ROC) from 2006 to 2016.The first group (comparison) - 67 neonates for whom the esophageal anastomosis was mainly performed with the traditional method, i.e., single-row interrupted seams. The second (main) group - 165 children, who underwent surgery in a modified clinic way. The results of the study confirmed the effectiveness of the technique to prevent the reflux of gastric contents into the anastomotic zone. A gastric tube (Foley catheter) inserted during surgery was not replaced for at least 10 days, as blind insertion could damage the anastomosis.
