Purpose: to improve a surgical treatment outcome in cases of the direct esophageal anastomosis leakage in newborns with esophageal atresia. 92 newborns with esophageal atresia were analyzed. A direct esophageal anastomoses were formed in these patients from 1982 till 2012. Postoperative lethality was 10 %. Recurrences of trachea-esophageal fistula were detected in 3 patients, anastomotic leakage and fistula formation – in 4 patients: 2 of them died, 2 else were operated, rethoracotomy, disconnection of esophageal ends and double esophagostomy dueto G.A. Bairov were formed.
In conclusion, authors doubted the pleural drainages efficacy in cases of esophageal anastomotic fistulas appearance and recommended the early rethoracotomy, disconnection of esophageal ends in place of anastomosis and formation of 2 fistulas – in the neck and in the abdominal wall – to perform.
