Esophageal Replacement for Long-Gap Esophageal Atresia in a Resource-Limited Setting
Abstract
The management of esophageal atresia in a resourcelimited environment is plagued with challenges that often lead to poor outcome. The diagnosis and management of babies with long-gap esophageal atresia adds a new dimension to these challenges. We report the success of esophageal replacement surgery for a baby with long-gap esophageal atresia in a resource limited setting. One year after surgery, she was eating well and her weight gain was appropriate.
