Summary

The treatment of long gap esophageal atresia (LGEA) in neonates is one of the most challenging congenital malformations in neonatal surgery. Usually the proximal and distal segments of the esophagus are too far apart, which leads to primary anastomosis abandoned. Thus various techniques have been used including Circular and spiral myotomies、Foker and Kimura elongation and gastrointestinal replacement. They are being widely used but bring more complications and less effectiveness. And considering about the absence of definite guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of LGEA worldwide, We prepare to use a preoperative staged stress function procedure for elongation of the proximal and distal segments, then to obtain an exact evaluation of the pouch status to achieve an individualized protocol of diagnosis and treatment utilizing the native esophagus to establish esophageal continuity for patients with LGEA.
