Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the short-term and medium-term survival status of children with congenital esophageal atresia, and to provide reference for clinical multidisciplinary management of children with congenital esophageal atresia.Methods:The clinical data of neonates with type Ⅲ congenital esophageal atresia who were operated in our hospital between November 2007 to November 2018 and followed up in this hospital were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Among the 62 cases, 16 cases were discharged automatically, 1 case died, and 45 cases were included in the short-term follow-up. 35 cases were classified as gross Ⅲa, 10 as Ⅲb, 5 as long segment type, 44 patients accepted one-stage surgery, 1 infant accepted delayed operation, 9 infants received second operations. Anastomotic leakage occurred in 8 cases (17.8%), anastomotic stenosis in 11 cases (24.4%), recurrence of tracheoesophageal fistula in 2 cases (4.4%), blood flow infection in 14 cases(31.1%), incision infection in 4 cases (8.9%). The medium-term survival status of 38 cases: 2 cases died of aspiration, 29 cases (76.3%) of anastomotic stenosis underwent esophageal dilatation, 5 cases (13.2%) of dysphagia when 1.5 years old, 6 cases (15.8%) of malnutrition. After multidisciplinary collaboration, the survival rate increased (57.1% vs. 85.3%, P=0.013), and the incidence of anastomotic leakage decreased (46.4% vs. 20.6%, P=0.03). Conclusion:The quality of life of children with congenital esophageal atresia can be improved by multidisciplinary cooperation and standardized postoperative follow-up.
