Objective To review the treatment of repair gastroschisis with autogenous umbilical cord and evaluate its effect. Methods Thirty newborns who underwent the repair gastroschisis with autogenous umbilical cord between August 1992 to October 2007, 26 cases survived under observed and followed-up, observing physical growth, intelligence measuring and whether the area of operated in abdomen need staged repair or not. Compared with 15 cases who underwent traditional operation method at the same time. Results Two cases died, 2 cases abandoned, and 26 ease received survive (survive rate 86.7%)and their growth was well in 26 cases. But in those 15 cases who underwent traditional operation method, 5 cases survived (survive rate 33.3%). There were significant difference in the survive rate, the mean operative time and postoperative hospital stay time between the two operation methods (P <0.05).Conclusion The material is adopted easily in the operation, autogenous umbilical cord is elastic tissue and no toxicity, it can relax the abdominal press effectively after the operation, the survive rate is high.

Objective To explore the feasibility and efficacy of endoscopic balloon dilation in treatment of esophageal stenosis caused by operation of congenital esophageal atresia. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on data of 218 children with type Ⅲ esophageal atresia, who underwent surgery in Zhengzhou Children' s Hospital from January 2009 to December 2017. The occurrence of postoperative complications and efficacy of endoscopic balloon dilation in treatment of esophageal stenosis was analyzed. Results Among the 218 patients with congenital esophageal atresia, 92 were type Ⅲa and 126 were type Ⅲb. Postoperative anastomotic leakage occurred in 46 cases (21. 1％), including 29 (31. 5％) of type Ⅲa and 17 (13. 5％) of type Ⅲb. Postoperative anastomotic stenosis occurred in 53 cases (24. 3％), including 29 ( 31. 5％) of type Ⅲa and 24 ( 19. 0％) of typeⅢb. The incidence of anastomotic leakage and anastomotic stenosis in different types was significantly different (χ2=10. 383, P=0. 001; χ2=4. 497, P=0. 034). The 53 cases of anastomotic stenosis underwent 123 times of endoscopic balloon dilation, with mean time of 3. 5±1. 6, and were finally clinically recovery. No esophagus perforation occurred. Among them, 29 cases of type Ⅲa underwent 73 times with mean of 4. 0±1. 8, and 24 cases of type Ⅲb underwent 50 times with mean of 2. 5±0. 7. The difference between the two types was statistically significant (t=-4. 053, P=0. 027). Conclusion Children with type Ⅲa esophageal atresia has a higher incidence of anastomotic stenosis and leakage, and more times of esophageal dilation. Endoscopic balloon dilation is safe and effective in treatment of esophageal stenosis after surgery for patients with congenital esophageal atresia.
