Hyperspectral Imaging —A Novel Tool to Assess Tissue Perfusion and Oxygenation in Esophageal Anastomoses
We present two cases of with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF)/EA repair, in whom we applied HSI: the first patient was a newborn with EA type C who underwent open TEF repair. The second one had an EA type A and cervical esophagostomy, in whom we performed gastric transposition. In both patients, HSI confirmed a good tissue perfusion of the later anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful and both patients are on full enteral feeds. We conclude that HSI is a safe and noninvasive tool that allows near real-time assessment of tissue perfusion and can contribute to the identification of the optimal anastomotic region ...

The International Network on Oesophageal Atresia (INoEA) consensus guidelines on the transition of patients with oesophageal atresia–tracheoesophageal fistula
Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Published online: 07 June 2023; doi:10.1038/s41575-023-00789-wCurrently, systematic care for adults and adolescents with oesophageal atresia–tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF) as they transition into adulthood is lacking. A multidisciplinary group of experts structured this Consensus Statement offering guidelines for the care of adolescents and adults with EA-TEF during transition.

EE554 Budget Impact Analysis of Intravenous Acetaminophen in Neonates after Esophageal Atresia and Tracheoesophageal Fistula Repair
The primary outcome of this study was to compare the budget impact of intravenous acetaminophen (IV APAP) in combination with opioids versus opioids alone as a pain management strategy after neonatal esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) repair. (Source: Value in Health)

Prophylactic acid-suppression medication to prevent anastomotic strictures after oesophageal atresia surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Anastomotic stricture is a common postoperative complication of oesophageal atresia ± tracheoesophageal fistula (OA/TOF) repair. Acid gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) is considered to be a factor in stricture formation and acid suppression medication is recommended post-operatively in consensus guidance. We aimed to investigate whether patients who were treated prophylacti cally with acid suppression medication had a reduced incidence of strictures compared to those who did not receive it.

Pharyngeaoesophageal Reconstruction
Pharyngoesophageal reconstruction is one of the most challenging reconstructive dilemmas that demands extensive planning, meticulous surgical execution, and timely management of postoperative complications. The main goals of reconstruction are to protect critical blood vessels of the neck, to provide alimentary continuity, and to restore functions such as speech and swallowing. With the evolution of techniques, fasciocutaneous flaps have become the gold standard for most defects in this region. Major complications include anastomotic strictures and fistulae, but most patients can tolerate an oral diet and achieve fluent sp...

Are Low Weight or Cardiopathy Contraindications for Thoracoscopic Repair of Esophageal Atresia with Tracheoesophageal Fistula?
Conclusion Thoracoscopic repair of EA/TEF is feasible technique in patients with CHD or LBW, with similar results to other patients. The complexity of this technique warrants individualizing the indication in each case. Level of Evidence IV.
