Our experience of secondary multistage treatment for complex long gap esophageal atresia

[Surgery]

Currently, there is no uniform consensus in treatment of complex long-gap esophageal atresia (CLGEA). In our department, we perform an anastomosis of the native esophagus after patient-adapted elongation therapy by esophageal traction. This study describes results, challenges, and complications of our approach.
