Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anastomotic stricture (AS) is the second most common complication after esophageal atresia (EA) repair. We aimed to evaluate the data in the Turkish Esophageal Atresia Registry to determine the risk factors for AS development after EA repair in a large national cohort of patients. METHODS The data between 2015 and 2021 were evaluated. Patients were enrolled into two groups according to the occurrence of AS. Patients with AS (AS group) and without AS (non-AS group) were compared according to demographic and operative features, postoperative intubation status, and postoperative complications, such as anastomotic leaks, fistula recanalization, and the presence of gastroesophageal reflux (GER). A multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to define the risk factors for the development of AS after EA repair. RESULTS Among the 713 cases, 144 patients (20.19%) were enrolled into the AS group and 569 (79.81%) in the non-AS group. The multivariable logistic regression showed that, being a term baby (odds ratio [OR]: 1.706; p = 0.006), having a birth weight over 2,500 g (OR: 1.72; p = 0.006), presence of GER (OR: 5.267; p < 0.001), or having a recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF, OR: 4.363; p = 0.006) were the risk factors for the development of AS. CONCLUSIONS The results of our national registry demonstrate that 20% of EA patients developed AS within their first year of life. In patients with early primary anastomosis, birth weight greater than 2,500 g and presence of GER were risk factors for developing AS. When patients with delayed anastomosis were included, in addition to the previous risk factors, being a term baby, and having recurrent TEF also became risk factors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
We present three cases of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) complicated by congenital esophageal atresia and trachea-esophageal fistula (EA/TEF). The standard treatment for HLHS involves a staged surgical approach, eventually reaching Fontan completion. There is no report of patients with both HLHS and EA/TEF, and no established treatment strategy exists for such cases. Given the significant risk of simultaneously operating on HLHS and EA/TEF, we elected to pursue staged repair for each condition separately. Initially, soon after birth, we performed gastrostomy to secure the nutritional pathway for EA/TEF and stabilize breathing. Subsequently, we conducted bilateral pulmonary artery banding (bil-PAB) and ductal stenting for HLHS, as the Norwood operation carried an unacceptably high risk in these patients. Two of these patients were able to transition to home care, while the other patient died during hospitalization due to complications after EA repair. A combination of bil-PAB with ductal stenting for HLHS and staged repair for EA/TEF may provide effective management for patients with both conditions. Learning objective Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and congenital esophageal atresia (EA) are both life-threatening conditions that require early intervention after birth. There are few reports of patients with both conditions, and no treatment strategy is established. Although the procedure carries a high risk, we successfully performed ductal stenting with bilateral pulmonary artery banding for HLHS, as well as staged repair procedures for EA. Our approach may be a viable strategy for these conditions.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is frequent and prolonged in esophageal atresia (EA) pediatric patients requiring routine use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). However, there are still controversies on the prophylactic use of PPIs and the efficacy of PPIs on GERD and EA complications in this special condition. The aim of the study is to assess the prophylactic use of PPIs in pediatric patients with EA and its complications. We, therefore, performed a systematic review including all reports on the subject from 1980 to 2022. We conducted meta-analysis of the pooled proportion of PPI-and no PPI groups using random effect model, meta-regression, and estimate heterogeneity by heterogeneity index I2 . Thirty-eight reports on the topic met the criteria selection, representing a cumulative 6044 patients with EA. Prophylactic PPI prescription during the first year of life does not appear to prevent GERD persistence at follow-up and is not associated with a significantly reduced rate of antireflux surgical procedures (ARP). PPIs improve peptic esophagitis and induce remission of eosinophilic esophagitis at a rate of 50%. Their effect on other GERD outcomes is uncertain. Evidence suggests that PPIs do not prevent anastomotic stricture, Barrett's esophagus, or respiratory complications. PPI use in EA can improve peptic and eosinophilic esophagitis but is ineffective on the other EA complications. Side effects of PPIs in EA are almost unknown.

A Minimally Interventional Approach to Oesophageal Atresia Repair With Early Enteral Feeding is Safe, Optimises Neonatal Outcomes, and Reduces Resource use. J Pediatr Surg 2024; 59:6-9.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recent series of newborn Oesophageal Atresia (OA) repair continue to report widespread use of chest drains, gastrostomy, routine contrast studies and parenteral nutrition (PN) despite evidence suggesting these are superfluous. We report outcomes using a minimally interventional approach to post-operative recovery. METHODS Ethically approved (15/WA/0153), single-centre, retrospective case-note review of consecutive infants with OA 2000-2022. Infants with OA and distal trache-oesophageal fistula undergoing primary oesophageal anastomosis at initial surgery were included (including those with comorbidities such as duodenal atresia, anorectal malformation and cardiac lesions). Our practice includes routine use of a trans-anastomotic tube (TAT), no routine chest drain nor gastrostomy, early enteral and oral feeding, no routine PN and no routine contrast study. Data are median (IQR). RESULTS Of total 186 cases of OA treated during the time period, 157 met the inclusion criteria of which 2 were excluded as casenotes unavailable. TAT was used in 150 infants. A chest drain was required in 13 (8%) and two infants had a neonatal gastrostomy. Enteral feeds were started on postoperative day 2 (2-3), full enteral feeds established by day 4 (4-6) and oral feeds started on day 5 (4-8). PN was required in 15%. Median postoperative length of stay was 10 days (8-17). Progress was quicker in term infants than preterm. One infant died of cardiac disease prior to neonatal discharge. Two planned post-operative contrast studies were performed (surgeon preference) and a further 7 due to clinical suspicion of anastomotic leak. Contrast study was therefore avoided in 94%. There were 2 anastomotic leaks; both presented clinically at day 4 and day 8 after oral feeds had been started. CONCLUSION Our minimally interventional approach is safe. It facilitates prompt recovery with lower resource use, reduced demand on nursing staff, reduced radiation burden, and early discharge home compared to published series without adversely affecting outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Esophageal mucosal bridge (EMB) may be diagnosed at the anastomotic site in children operated on for esophageal atresia (EA) but so far only a few cases (n = 4) have been reported. This study aimed to characterize EMB in children with EA, risk factors, and treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective multicenter study recorded patient's characteristics, EMB diagnosis circumstances, endoscopic management, follow-up, and EMB recurrence in children with EA aged less than 18 years, compared with paired EA patients without EMB. RESULTS Thirty patients were included (60% male, 90% EA/tracheoesophageal fistula, 43% associated malformations). Compared to 44 paired controls, EMB was associated with a history of nasogastric tube feeding (31% vs. 9.1%, p = 0.02) and severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (history of fundoplication: 41.4% vs. 13.6%, p < 0.01). 77% had symptoms (food impaction and/or dysphagia). Endoscopic management was performed in 53% of patients (83% electrocoagulation) with no technical difficulties or complications. 80% of the symptomatic patients with EMB improved after endoscopic treatment, independently of anastomotic stricture dilatation or not. CONCLUSION EMB endoscopic management by electrocoagulation is safe and often leads to symptom improvement.
